...fellow Europeans, but it was slightly disingenuous. West Germany's economic primacy in Europe is a fact, and so is the political leverage that goes with it, whether exercised or not. Charles de Gaulle's defiant and determined effort to preserve the parity of the franc cannot mask the reality of France's diminished stature.

Grigorenko, an engineer whose libertarian views cost him his army rank in 1964, urged the mourners to work for "the persistent development of genuine Leninist democracy," and scathingly dismissed the current "totalitarianism that hides behind the mask of so-called Soviet democracy" as its antithesis...
