...which Russia disastrously miscalculated in 1967. Egyptian officers complain that their Russian advisers are aloof and overbearing, work them too hard, and do not teach enough mobile warfare. According to the official slogan, Egyptian-Soviet friendship is "loftier than the Aswan Dam and more solid than the Pyramids." In fact, the relationship is pragmatic rather than cordial. Even during construction at Aswan where 3,000 Soviet engineers lived and worked shoulder to shoulder with Egyptians, few friendships developed. In Cairo today, thousands of Russians live clannishly in their own apartment blocks, drink at their own clubs and shop at their...

...sources and its attitudes toward some of the more controversial issues covered by the media. The results indicate that although Americans are quick to criticize the way news is handled, underlying public trust in the nation's press and in its constitutional safeguards remains strong. Harris finds, in fact, that nearly two out of every three adults in his representative sample of 1,600 express the view that they are "better informed today than they were five years ago." But, Harris concludes, "this is not to say that there is a limitless blue-sky euphoria about the media. Each...
