In fact, Moscow, pursuing its objectives in Latin America with trade and aid, often finds the radical terrorists a hindrance.

Some of the diaries now in the early stages have been subcontracted to friends like LIFE'S Steve Gelman and Harper's Magazine Editor Willie Morris, allowing Schaap more time to juggle phone calls and pursue other projects. For example: a golf and repartee match between Kramer, Beard, DeBusschere...
