Next came an interlude of cowboy tunes, including The Old Chisholm Trail ("Coma ti yi youpy, yappy yay, yappy yay, Coma ti yi youpy yappy yay," which probably sounded like static to Russian ears), a talk on a new cure for hay fever (the U.S. has 5,000,000 sufferers), and a new method of exploring the Milky Way. When the closing theme, the Battle Hymn of the Republic, went out over the air, Soviet Russia was still at least as distant as the Milky Way. Just as the Voice of America signed off, the Voice of Russia (Moscow Radio...
...slap on the fat and dish out some scat. You're a prisoner of wov, W-O-V, 1280 on the dial, New York, and you're picking up the hard spiel and good deal of Fred Robbins, dispensing seven score and ten ticks of ecstatic static and spectacular vernacular from 6:30 to 9 every black on the 1280 Club. . . .

Russia will be insistent upon preserving what she considers essential to her national welfare. But her policy, like ours, is not static. As her about-face on the inspection issue proves, the Soviet will change her policy as her nationalistic needs change. The only conclusion, general though it may be, is that more attention should be paid to Big Three agreements and less to disagreements. The little cracks that appear from time to time...
...Great Illusion. Many of us, even though we had few illusions about Russia, made the mistake of underestimating the dynamism of the Russian system. We believed that, having a wider geographic base than Naziism, the Russian system could afford a more static policy and ultimately find security in the wide belt of eastern Europe assigned to it. A trip through Europe . . . has convinced me that the Russians are not, and will riot be, satisfied with an system of eastern European defenses but are seeking to extend their power over the whole of Europe...
