...ruling 15-man Politburo is 69. Most Kremlinologists agreed that the Kosygin move did not presage any major shake-up or policy shift. If anything, it was expected to enhance Brezhnev's own already dominant power. A master of political survival, who was said by Dissident Leader Andrei Sakharov to be "the most intelligent and toughest man in the Politburo," Kosygin periodically differed with Brezhnev both on economic and foreign policy. In 1968, for instance, he was thought to have opposed the invasion of Czechoslovakia...
...Kremlin hurled similar warnings at the White House. Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko complained to U.S. Ambassador Thomas Watson in Moscow last week that American military activity in the gulf area was a "provocation" and "a threat to peace."

...ANDREI BELGRADER'S As You Like It takes the aggressively self-confident stance that no one--not Shakespeare, not his audiences, certainly not today's audiences--could or can stomach pastoral. This production gleefully aims groin-kicks at each of the text's literary conventions, until their prone bodies threaten to outnumber the actors on stage. Whether Belgrader remains faithful to some indeterminate "author's intentions" or in fact manhandles the play for his own purposes, the final product impartially communicates the matter of Shakespeare's discourse on love, while obliquely making its own points. A deft maneuver...
