Jim, note that this is not a record that Google scanned from a library
-- it's from one of its publisher partners. Any books currently in
print that you find in Google books are there because of a contract
between Google and the publisher. I would love to know where Google
got all of its data from, but as you know many publishers are
providing MARC data along with their books, so the LC subject headings
may have come along with the publisher data. Ironically, in that case,
the data is probably not controlled by the OCLC policy (either the old
nor the new that was withdrawn).
