...Libel Suit. One protest, signed by 52 Soviet intellectuals, decried the fact that no impartial observers had been allowed into the Moscow courtroom. "A legally conducted and organized court," they said, "need not fear the glare of publicity, but should actually welcome it." Two brothers, Biologist Yuri Vakhtin and Writer Boris Vakhtin, denounced the trial's "abnormal atmosphere" and "court violations." Noting that their father had been killed in a Stalinist purge in the 1930s, they said that they could not accept a return to that "terrible time of lawlessness and bestiality."

Dissent grew and soldiers tried to change companies, until finally someone suggested that the soup be cooked plain and that little dishes of mustard be placed on the tables so that the men could make their own choice...
...floor office in a slightly run-down Washington office building. But his Lamont-smoking-and-typing-room-sized office is immaculate with more than a hundred batallion and regimental flags lining three walls. The man behind the desk, however, doesn't wear a uniform, just an ordinary business suit. Everything about him physically is old, but the things he says deny his years...
