...which presents the Brooklyn-born governor with the most damnable of ironies. New York, after all, is a state where geography has traditionally held the key on election day, and up until a few months ago it looked as though Carey had done his map-work well. It's all very simply arithmetic: the Republicans can usually count on the northern half of the state, Democrats can usually count on the southern half, and the winner winds up as the party that manages to sneak enough votes out of enemy territory. Last May, his home base presumably secured...

The rash of break-ins that followed prompted the Department of Building and Grounds, which maintains the tunnels, to establish a policy prohibiting the release of precise information on the layout of the tunnels. Today, all entrance doors are locked, and locked doors placed at intervals through the tunnels are wired with alarms that sound in the tunnel control room, permitting supervisors to notify the police of an intruder.

Tehran authorities are further convinced that the Soviet KGB has for years been patiently pursuing a plot to use Afghanistan as a base for stirring up trouble in the Baluch areas of Iran and Pakistan. These observers claim that they have seen a map, drawn in Moscow and secured by the Iranian intelligence service, showing a Greater Baluchistan that would connect the U.S.S.R. with the Arabian Sea. Similarly, an Islamabad diplomat refers darkly to the "Moscow-Kabul-Delhi axis." The Russians, he insists, "are now at the Khyber Pass." Certainly this is an exaggeration if not a delusion...
