By the thousands, strangers streamed into the tiny hamlet hard by the Skykomish (Big Sky) River, 48 miles northeast of Seattle.

Together, the Yugoslav and Rumanian armies total some 395,000 men. Most Yugoslav observers doubted...
...just outside the Kremlin. Inside, Soviet leaders were holding meetings with Czechoslovakia's top leaders. Suddenly, from the midst of the seated group, banners sprouted: "Hands off Czechoslovakia!" "Shame on the occupiers!" Among the seven demonstrators were Larisa Daniel, wife of Author Yuli Daniel, now serving a labor camp sentence for writing anti-Soviet material; Pavel Litvinov, grandson of Russia's wartime Foreign Minister, Maxim Litvinov; Viktor Feinberg, an art critic; and Poet Natalya Gorbanevskaya, who had brought along her three-month...
