The Soviets cancel strategic exercises because they might be misunderstood. In the investigation of the poison-gas attack in Washington, Georgi Arbatov, the director of the Institute of U.S.A. and Canada Studies, who plays a national security adviser to the Kremlin, orders the KGB to work directly with...
