...hands in Washington or the Navy think the two have very good long-term prospects. For the time being, Bucher and Harris received relatively unglamorous assignments-but it was said that they had requested them. Bucher will attend a management course in Monterey, Calif., leading to a master's degree; Harris will assume duties at Naval Security headquarters in Washington. The Navy hopes that in their new billets, Bucher and Harris will drop from sight...
...call at the Czechoslovak embassy to advertise his approval of the Dubček liberalization program. At the funeral of Writer Aleksei Kosterin (TIME, Nov. 22), a longtime friend, he turned his eulogy at Moscow's crematory hall into an eloquent attack on "totalitarianism that hides behind the master of so-called Soviet democracy...
