But any Western words or actions displeasing to Moscow -a U.S. Navy plane dropping flares near a Soviet tanker in the Pacific, a London hint that sending Russian scientists into British laboratories calls for reciprocity, a U.N. committee vote calling on Communist North Korea to allow free elections for unifying the country-cause Communist hands to be raised in righteous protest against "violation of the Camp David spirit."
