To the Editor:
   In clamping down on the flow of information, Mr. Putin has been just going with the autocratic fashion of the day. Americans should remember that--in his year in office--President Bush sealed presidential papers back to the Reagan administration; he continues to dodge the Presidential Records Act of 1978. As another George taught us "he who controls the past, controls the future".
