"The most obvious symptom," says Fischer, "was the Red Army-still mobilized four and a half million strong. . . . Men in uniform were everywhere, often fully armed. ... It showed, too, in many little incidents-the nervousness of a Russian official when our American interpreter wanted to carry her camera on a Sunday afternoon outing; the unobtrusive little men in blue serge suits who kept turning up in the back of our box at the opera . . . the embarrassed refusals...
