The session rubber-stamped a proposal originally made by Brezhnev that the regime be "democratized" by increasing the number of the Supreme Soviet's standing committees from three to nine-which in substance meant nothing. Kosygin revealed no fresh policy to cope with Russia's lagging economy; instead, he disclosed that the new five-year plan, scheduled to have gone into effect last January, was still not ready, possibly because of wrangles over a new pricing structure designed to permit limited fluctuation in response to supply...
...Supreme Court may have handed down a hint of its own attitude in last month's Miranda v.
