Its strategy calls for a via pacifica in Latin America. The Soviets hope that local conditions, abetted by U.S. blunders, will play into their scheme of things.

...into endowments to survive. In the past five years, the Chicago Symphony has had to dip into its endowment so regularly that it has shrunk from $6,200,000 to $1,000,000. In Cleveland, the orchestra is about to tap its endowment fund for $600,000 to help meet a 1968-69 deficit of $1,100,000. If the same thing happens next year, says Orchestra President Alfred M.
