...Americans would not go that far if other countries were threatened by a Communist takeover from within, even if the insurrection had outside help; in such a situation, for example, only 28% would have the U.S. come to the aid of Italy. Despite John Kennedy's ringing "Ich bin ein Berliner" declaration of U.S. solidarity with West Berlin, reaffirmed by President Nixon during his European visit two months ago, only 23% of Americans would be willing to risk nuclear war if West Berlin were in danger of Communist invasion. A notably larger number, 31%, would take that risk...
...Lyndon Johnson, he went to Seoul and to Viet Nam; he covered Johnson's two-week tour of Asia in 1966 and the famous 4½-day dash around the world in 1967. Sidey was with Kennedy and Khrushchev in Vienna; he stood below as Kennedy shouted "Ich bin ein Berliner!" in the shadow of the Berlin Wall.

A country corn put-on called I Been Spending Too Much Money at the Fair is a hilarious frontal attack on the Nashville sound...
...novel about an intellectual's disenchantment with contemporary life in Russia, Valeriy Tarsis mercilessly unstitched the britches of Soviet Communism-and let the whole world watch them come down. For slipping the book out of the country and having it published abroad, Tarsis was sent to the loony bin. After six months he was released and in 1965 came Ward 7 (also shipped out and published abroad), in which Tarsis made it clear that only in a madhouse can a Russian speak his mind. This time he was allowed to leave Russia. But while he was on a lecture...
