...Allende was more concerned with his reception in Moscow-and with good reason. Only the Russians seemed willing, or able, to extend the financial aid needed to bail out the Chilean economy.

The Housing and Urban Development Department Building in Washington, despite its excellent detailing, looks ponderous. One problem, perhaps...
