...Arnaud de Borchgrave and Robert Moss, impeccable journalists and fledgling novelists, would have us believe. Their paranoid world-view is peculiar; it suggests that the Soviet Union could, by sowing the seeds of "disinformation" in the American press, influence public opinion so that it could achieve world hegemony without so much as aiming a nuclear weapon at New York.

But if the two European journalists were to take a close look at the right in America today, they would probably shed fewer tears. Anti-Soviet rhetoric, increased defense spending and conspiracy theories are de rigueur these days, and Ronald Reagan may ride into office on their public appeal...
