Hailed abroad as the new Soviet woman, Mrs. Gorbachev is perceived as her country's first female superstar since the days of Alexandra Kollantai and Inessa Armand, both early feminists, and Nadezhda Krupskaya, Lenin's wife, more than a half- century...
...this scheme, though, the apparent mastermind was an outsider: Armand Moore, 33, a burly ex-con from Detroit who called himself "the Chairman."

The representatives of interested elites, he believes, have taken over the Administration at the expense of the average person. People such as Howard Baker and Frank Carlucci, for example, have "advance policies that benefit Armand Hammer and David Rockefeller but hurt America." Egged on by Nancy, the President now "pays court to the Washington establishment." Representing those on the political fringes of society, Phillips finds any politician who fails to divide the world into starkly contrasting good and evil camps treasonously willing to sacrifice...
