...with most analyses of hypothetical combat situations, your article concerning NATO's vulnerability to a Russian attack [Dec. 13] dealt too much with machines and not enough with...
Moore's alleged attempt to peddle defense secrets to the Soviets was bizarre but not inept. A veteran U.S. intelligence operative told TIME: "The Soviets bungled this thing-not Moore." Had he telephoned the Russian embassy, he might have been wiretapped. Had he tried to broach the deal with the Soviets in a park or on a street, he might have been seen.

Brezhnev is comfortable in his hero's role, but, particularly in the Soviet Union, fame is fleeting. Stalin's name is not often mentioned, and Khrushchev's has been expunged from the official language. Yet when Khrushchev celebrated his own 70th birthday...
