...been so bitter. Our generation of writers hoped that after de-Stalinization started in 1956, we might restore Russian literature to its mother, European culture. But since the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968, there has been no chance of change. Now real writers don't even bother to submit their work to Soviet publishers...

His turncoat status does not seem to bother the National Republican Congressional Committee, which is pouring $34,000 into his campaign. Franklin's total campaign budget of $225,000 is half again as fat as Clark's $150,000, but both candidates have strong party support. Former President Gerald Ford touted Franklin at a summer fund...
