...beholder-or at any rate, the holder of power. To fall from favor was to fall from sight-to become an "unperson," who, as far as official comment was concerned, might as well have never existed. But the post-Khrushchev leadership of Brezhnev and Kosygin seems determined to give Russians a more honest glimpse of some tarnished heroes of the past...
...high-flying U.S reconnaissance planes late last month and at present sitting idly at Phucyen, just northwest of Hanoi. U.S. officials assume that the planes are Russian-piloted and represent Moscow's fulfillment-along with three antiaircraft missile sites under construction near the capital-of Premier Aleksei Kosygin's February pledge to give material aid to Ho Chi Minh.

But as one observer puts it, "Russia is a dictatorship without a dictator now," and the feeling persists that the team system cannot work indefinitely. The old conflicts between the metal-eaters and the goulash-givers surely remain, and the military is hardly likely to be ecstatic over the shorter shrift it seems to be getting these days. But such power struggles as may be taking place...
