...worries seriously about Ecevit hopping into the Soviet camp. For one thing, Turkey's conservative military chiefs?behind-the-throne powers who carefully monitor the country's civilian governments?are considered to be staunchly opposed to such an idea. But some NATO analysts fear that continued neglect of Turkish needs could drive the country toward a more neutral posture. They also note that prior to his departure for the U.S. Ecevit received a precedent-shattering visit from Soviet Chief of Staff Marshal Nikolai Ogarkov...
...money will go to families with incomes over $30,000." Although tax credit supporters cite the administrative simplicity of the plan--taxpayers can claim the benefit by answering a few questions on their tax forms--Cottington says the Internal Revenue Service would have to develop a complex bureaucracy to monitor the program that will duplicate the functions of existing financial aid bureaucracies...

One proposal, to build a powerful radar station near Valdez to monitor icebergs, would require large amounts of money before geologists can confirm that the glacier is indeed retreating.

Introducing these reports as evidence...
Orlov's wife Irina, 33, and his two sons (by a previous marriage) were allowed to witness the trial. During recesses, they briefed newsmen and sympathizers outside. Irina, describing the proceedings as a circus, said that her husband did not deny giving the monitor committee's documents to Western journalists. But he insisted that he did so for humanitarian reasons, to bring Soviet practice in line with Moscow's pledges at Helsinki. Orlov sarcastically asked the judges: "Is it a crime to meet foreign correspondents?" According to his wife, he was constantly interrupted by "spectators," hand-picked...
