Kremlin Dictation. As unlikely as it seemed, Kosygin may actually have sought to reassure the scrupulously neutral Finns. But in the long run, the only way that Russia can allay the worries of the Finns, or of anyone else, is to loosen its grip on Czechoslovakia.

As a good Baptist, Graham has maintained a strict wall of separation between his religious and his political convictions, and has never endorsed any candidate for office. But his determination to be neutral has been sorely strained this election year. Billy finds it hard to conceal the fact that he has made his own decision for Richard Nixon...
