...fallacy of the Soviet domination thesis is easy to see. In the minds of U.S. conservatives, the still untrustworthy Soviets instigate the restructuring of Communist societies in their own sphere of influence while fervently supporting the victories of orthodox Marxist rebels thousands of miles away...

Thus East Germany probably can be added, along with Poland and Hungary, to the list of East European states that are trying to abandon orthodox Communism for some as-yet-nebulous form of social democracy. The next to be engulfed by the tides of change appears to be Bulgaria; Todor Zhivkov, 78, its longtime, hard-line boss, unexpectedly resigned at week's end. Outlining the urgent need for "restructuring," his successor, Petar Mladenov, said, "This implies complex and far from foreseeable processes. But there is no alternative." In all of what used to be called the Soviet bloc, Zhivkov...

They could trace their lineage to the Scribner's children's classics of half a century ago, when the pictures of nonpareils like N.C. Wyeth and Maxfield Parrish graced the tissue-covered plates. Still, Van Allsburg retains his special dream aura in the brooding shadows in which...

That does not mean that any of the remaining hard-line governments will necessarily be toppled anytime soon. Nor do they show signs of making more than minor changes in their orthodox programs. And there seems to be a flip side to Gorbachev's repudiation of the Brezhnev Doctrine: it also means that Moscow will not intervene to force reform. Intriguingly, though, some Soviet officials are debating whether it might be wiser to give a shove to the recalcitrant leadership in Czechoslovakia, where popular pressure for change seems ripest...
