...BERLIN BLOCKADE. The wartime Soviet-American friendship soon hardened into peacetime animosity-the cold war, in the writer Herbert Bayard Swope's coinage-when the Soviet Union organized its postwar system of Eastern European satellite states.

The suit claims that Rader, whose 40-year-old secretary wed Herbert Armstrong in April 1977, may have reaped the profit from the $1.8 million sale of his Beverly Hills estate, which allegedly was maintained at church expense.
