Moscow responded with even more vitriol. In a statement to Pravda, Soviet Communist Party Leader Leonid Brezhnev accused Washington of launching "a shameless anti-Soviet campaign," being "outright hypocritical" and telling "mountains of lies" about the Soviet action in Afghanistan. Said the Kremlin's aging chief: "The impression is increasingly forming in the world of the U.S. as an absolutely unreliable partner in interstate ties, as a state whose leadership, prompted by some whim, caprice or emotional outbursts ... is capable at any moment of violating its international obligations...
...history of the New York Yankees is virtually the history of baseball," New York Times columnist Dave Anderson writes in introducing this shameless horn-blower of a book. After those 11 years, you feel like blowing your horn; bask in the hubris, regreet old friends. Watch Babe Ruth's astonishing 60 home runs in 1927, and Roger "Bwana" Maris's 61 in '61; follow the Yankee Clipper through his 56 game hitting streak; trace a young Mickey Mantle's blasts till they go out of sight while Manager Casey Stengel, at your elbow, credits the incredible distance of the shot...

Thus we may see terrorists heroized, or secret matters. pertaining to one's nation's defense, publicly revealed, or we may witness shameless intrusion on the privacy of well-known people under the slogan: "everyone is entitled to know everything". But this is a false slogan, characteristic of a false era: people also have the right not to know, and it is a much more valuable one. The right not to have their divine...
...known that The Final Conclave was printed under extraordinary security lest it be "suppressed." By whom? The publisher didn't say; surely a banning in Boston or a burning in Butte would have hyped the book's sales marvelously, but no such thing happened, alas. With shameless self-promotion, Martin bought display newspaper ads for an open letter warning U.S. Cardinals that their church is in danger of a takeover...
