...cheering crowds when Soviet Premier Aleksei Kosygin came to Teheran for a week-long state visit. But no difference: Kosygin was more than welcome. After years of nearly total dependence on the West, Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlevi is turning his country increasingly toward Russia, his once hostile northern neighbor, seeking friendship, trade and backing for his ambitious industrial development plans. At the same time, his relations with the West, and in particular with the U.S., are becoming increasingly strained...
...they are secondary and even somewhat irrelevant. Instead, they argue that faith is not an intellectual assent to a series of dogmatic propositions but a commitment of one's entire being; ethical concern is directed not primarily toward one's own life but toward one's neighbor and the world.

The play took just under three hours and you couldn't notice it, which even in the Moscow Art Theatre would be quite something...
However, the tripwire which many of us, I think, still regard as a tripwire is he following: China cannot tolerate what it regards as a real threat to its own frontiers. This means, as a corollary, that China cannot tolerate the displacement of a friendly neighbor on its immediate frontier by an unfriendly neighbor or an unknown quantity. Ergo, any imminent threat to North Vietnam as a state that would imply to China that North Vietnam was to be displaced as a state, as a friendly state, and replaced by another state, would, we have always believed, bring on almost...
