"Other adversaries," like those who want to keep their affairs private, or wish to live free in an increasingly unfree world? I think I'm gonna puke.
Instead of "and other adversaries," why didn't they just come out and say, "and Jim Bell"? I feel left out! Ignored! Now I know how "the Professor and Mary Ann" felt.
