When Chalidze handed over his passport, Galishnikov deftly passed it to an aide, who pocketed it. Chalidze was then told that he had been stripped of his citizenship by order of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet two days earlier, and was now forbidden to return home...
Chalidze, who was recently threatened with arrest in Russia for such statements, is now both bemused and bewildered.

The minute I walk into the studio I always enjoy a suspension of citizenship." Still he was quick to recall that NBC had been the first to predict the Johnson victory in 1964. ABC News President Elmer Lower also demanded accuracy over immediacy-and put his network where his mouth was. Ronald Reagan, among others, had asked that broadcasters hold predictions until Western polls closed...
