...Sergei Georgievich Lapin, 55, a protege of Party Chairman Leonid Brezhnev, was promoted to director of Tass, Russia's news agency and principal propaganda organ. Tass not only serves Russian newspapers internally but has a worldwide network of 200 men in 93 countries, including four in Washington, is often accused of using them for other purposes than news gathering. A onetime Tassman (1945-55) who later switched to diplomacy and became Deputy Foreign Minister, Lapin has spent the past two years as ambassador to Red China, but has been absent from his post for months because of Chinese demonstrations...
