...senior Kremlin watchers in Moscow puts it flatly, and puts it best: "Brezhnev runs the show." In the old days, it is true, the President's sleek black ZIL limousine roared down the center lane of Kutuzovsky Prospekt to the Kremlin every morning at 8 o'clock. Now it usually arrives after 10. Brezhnev takes more naps than he once did, and more vacations. His attention span is shorter. Instead of the impromptu policy discussions he used to thrive on, he greets important political visitors with remarks and toasts read from papers prepared for him. Much of his old zest...
Tanks and troops continued to patrol city streets at night, but thousands of protesters defied the 9 o'clock curfew to go to rooftops and shout their chilling chant: "The Shah must die." Even whispering that slogan would once have provoked a visit by a SAVAK agent. Names, addresses and phone numbers of secret police agents are now posted on city walls.

Of course, being the New York Rangers, they lost the deciding seventh contest in Chicago. But they still had the sixth to remember...
...Times virtually opened a Summerdale St. bureau. Reporters were on hand around the clock to file accounts of how it all looked--and smelled. On December 29, one of the paper's top columnists, Roger Simon, landed an exclusive interview with Dr. Robert Stein, the talkative medical examiner who by week's end was practically a household name in Chicago. Stein, who supervised the excavations, posed on the front page before a stack of sheet-covered bodies in Crypt One of the Cook County morgue...
