...Soviets themselves seemed to like the idea of Reagan. They did not exactly say that. They seldom say such things directly, but the hosts projected an unusual warmth. Ambassador Anatoli Dobrynin, who, with Reagan, will have served in the time of eight U.S. Presidents, greeted the thousand guests who had come for the 63rd anniversary of the revolution. He knew most of them personally. "Old friends," he said, beaming a great smile around the room. It seemed like a reunion from better times...
...sales, tightened restrictions on high-technology exports. The SALT II treaty that Jimmy Carter and Leonid Brezhnev signed a year ago this week may die on the Senate shelf. After more than a month in office, Secretary of State Edmund Muskie has yet to meet with Soviet Ambassador Anatoli Dobrynin.

An unidentified voice then ordered the Soviet pilot to descend from 8,000 ft. to 4,000 ft., into airspace that is normally reserved for small planes. For three minutes-and six miles-the jetliner flew at low altitude over heavily populated Long Island, until a tower supervisor discovered what...
...seemingly endless flights of troop transports into Kabul airport, carrying army regulars to replace the mobilized reservists who took part in the original invasion, suggested that the Soviets are settling in for a long stay. Oil Tycoon Armand Hammer last week said that Soviet Ambassador Anatoli Dobrynin had assured him that the troops would leave; but they surely will not go until the Kabul government of Babrak Karmal is secure and the insurgency is under control -and that could take months, if not years...
