...graduate students of today are the mediocre scholars of tomorrow; the undergraduates they, in turn, neglect, are too often frustrated in their own efforts to grow intellectually in an environment which should have so much to offer.

...With few clues to go on, Kremlin watchers seized on the appointment of Konstantin Chernenko, 72, a onetime Brezhnev protégé, to head the funeral committee as an indication that the old guard had triumphed.

By the end of January 1981, five of the ten top posts in commands bordering on Poland had changed hands, a signal that all was not well on the western front...

Not since Kruschev came to America in the 1960s has a Russian or an American bead of state visited the other country during their tenure. Reagan, indeed, seems to have a grand imaginative disdain for Russia...
