...soldiers raised his rifle, and Stewart dropped to his knees. The guardsman motioned to him to lie down and kicked him sharply in the side. Then the soldier stepped back a few paces and calmly took aim, and shot the correspondent behind the right ear, killing him. Out of sight near by, Interpreter Juan Francisco Espinoza was also murdered. The grisly episode was filmed from the back of the van by ABC Soundman Jim Cefalo and Cameraman Jack Clark, who were not molested...

All that, including the history of the peoples that have lived with us and among us, such as those who died...
Grigorenko, now 70, need not have worried. The old soldier was stripped of Soviet citizenship in 1978, and found asylum (political, that is) in the U.S. Reich and colleagues, including Psychiatrists Alan Stone of Harvard and Lawrence Kolb of Columbia, conducted their elaborate mental and neurological tests anyway. The verdict: the tough, bald-pated general is as solid as the Kremlin's walls, with nary a crack in his mental armor...
