Chenault's religious beliefs appeared to be a confused amalgam largely of his own devising.

The core of his murky philosophy was hatred of Christianity. Probably central to his motivation was his sense of inadequacy and need for attention. Only two weeks before the killings he told a friend that he would soon "be all over the newspapers...
...threat to détente. In what can only be construed as a symbolic gesture to mollify U.S. opinion, they released Major General Pyotr Grigorenko, 67, who had been placed in a psychiatric clinic for political crimes five years ago.

Committees in the West have been campaigning on the Panovs' behalf, and shortly before President Nixon's planned Soviet visit, the U.S.S.R. abruptly announced they could...
