When President Nixon invited the silent majority to express themselves, says Moser, who teaches Russian, "he got what he wanted-a visible opposition to the Moratorium crowd."

Director Ron Dear claims that Nixon "would not be unhappy to see his options in the war expanded by right-wing pressure-and we aim to please...
WITH suitable benedictions from their leaders and the best wishes of peaceable men everywhere, U.S. and Russian negotiators this week meet in Helsinki. They are coming to the Finnish capital to start talks on the most vital-and sensitive disarmament issue ever negotiated between the two sides.

When Kenyatta drove past, however, cattle and goats set loose by Luo farmers were placidly munching the bananas. At a mass rally to dedicate a $3,500,000 Russian-built hospital, tension sharpened. As Odinga stood by, KPU hecklers shouted "Dume" (pronounced du-may and meaning "bull"), the party's slogan, and KANU backers retaliated.
