Justified though each of these actions may seem to many Americans, in Soviet eyes they appear to constitute a coordinated campaign of hostility. "We look upon these actions as defiant and provocative, contrary to the spirit of Geneva," said Deputy Foreign Minister Georgi Korniyenko in Moscow.

...long ago, Georgi Arbatov, the Soviet Union's top expert on America, buttonholed Brown and indicated that the U.S.S.R. might bring out a Russian- language version of State of the World. Arbatov chortled that when he got his copy last year, his son, a scholar, swiped it for use in his studies. That's encouraging.
