...campaign's focus on nuclear strategy tends to overlook pressing questions about national defense, especially in regard to Europe and the Mid-East. The Soviet army's performance in the Czech invasion impressed Western observers as "brilliant" and "faultless"; in the Mediterranean, with ready access to any war zones in the Mid-East, the Soviets have recently established a fleet of at least 50 ships and have secured use of an excellent port in Algeria.

The best were derivative-works restaged from the repertory of his former company, Russia's Kirov Ballet. By far the worst was his muddied Freudian version of The Nutcracker, in which Drosselmeyer, with a Humbert-Humbert lurch, is transformed into the prince who pays...
