Over the months the letters have brought results. A subtle technique, as different from Russia's brutish kidnapings as China is different from Russia, they can have a deep effect on the minds of the students.

There can be no confidence, still less friendship, while this continues. "It is sometimes suggested that a NATO base on Greek soil should suffice for our needs. This is not so." There might be occasions when Britain alone or Britain...
