Schwab has been able to get luminaries to go to Davos, for which they receive generous speaking fees plus expenses. Last year former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger used the Davos podium to warn against a Soviet arms buildup, and in 1979 French Premier Raymond Barre gloomily predicted that Western Europe's lack of energy and raw materials would condemn it to dangerous dependence on the Middle East and other areas...
...Eastern European press have blamed the U.S. for the crisis. When it ended last week, the Communists stepped up the propaganda barrage. Said the Soviet news agency TASS: "The settlement of the crisis in Iran will in no way affect the Pentagon's plans for a further buildup of the U.S. military presence in the Persian Gulf area."

...things worth fighting for."

Moreover, Chazov's view is at variance with some statements by Soviet officials implying that since fewer Soviet citizens are likely to die in an atomic holocaust than Americans, the U.S.S.R. would therefore...
...single-engine aircraft, capable of soaring more than 15 miles above the earth at speeds up to 530 m.p.h. Until one was brought down by a Soviet missile in 1960, causing a dramatic cold war confrontation, U-2s regularly flew over the Soviet Union, looking for signs of military buildup. About 30 U-2s are still in service, but a new version of the old bird, called the TR-1, is about to rise out of a mysterious Lockheed facility that produces supersecret military hardware for the Air Force Logistics Command. Last week TIME Correspondent Jerry Hannifin, the first reporter...
