Brezhnev gave this interpretation some credence last week by delivering a particularly bellicose speech at a party meeting in Warsaw. In the very week that Andrei Sakharov was being prevented from going to Oslo to accept the Nobel Peace Prize, the Soviet leader attacked Western critics who complain that Moscow has not been living up to the promises to expand personal freedoms that it made at the Helsinki Conference on European Cooperation and Security.

Despite government attempts to quiet unrest in the ranks and improve morale by tripling the pay of draftees (from 600 to $1.80 a day), French troops are the lowest paid in Europe.

Not a few of us appear headed toward a genteel version of the second choice. The last choice is one we are emotionally least-equipped to make. "Rejoining the people" is difficult because the "people" themselves may be unfree and afraid, trading upon old patterns of domination and submission...
