...exchanges prepaid vouchers for her meals (breakfast: salami and cheese, two boiled eggs, black bread, fig jam, coffee-$1.50). Next week her father Prince Philip and her fiancé Mark Phillips will join her and watch her ride in the European equestrian championships. The normally obligatory visit to Lenin's tomb in Moscow has been dropped from Philip's itinerary, perhaps in quiet recognition of the fact that he is a cousin once removed of the late Czar Nicholas II, who was murdered with his family on orders from the Lenin-led revolutionary government...

Soviet internal repression is greater than in this country, but it is less imperialist outside its borders, perhaps because it lacks the American capacity for aggrandizement. It was altogether fitting that World Enemy Numbers...
