But this community is at war. Most men don military uniforms, and even when there is no fighting, there are mist-muffled retorts from a nearby firing range.

The swimmers, who apparently had not been informed of the visit, paddled through the steamy mist in rubber caps and goggles to greet the Soviet First Lady. When Raisa applauded them, they clapped in return like performing seals. She then leaned over to shake the dripping hands of the swimmers...
