The Soviets have just thrown a smokescreen over Solzhenitsyn's novel, August, 1914, by publishing 100,000 copies of Barbara Tuchman's 1962 history of the same period, The Guns of August. (Mrs. Tuchman, who was neither consulted nor paid, said the Soviet tactic was "absurd" because "Solzhenitsyn and I come to much the same conclusions.") As another harassment the Russian Supreme Court undertook to review Solzhenitsyn's 1971 divorce decree from his first wife-and reversed it. That prevented him from marrying his companion, Natalya Svetlova, and legitimizing their two sons...

On the eve of the election, Barzel and former Finance Minister Karl Schiller, who had resigned from the government last July after losing a fight over capital controls, held several highly publicized "secret" meetings. They apparently agreed to "cooperate...
...Bulgaria, for instance, a judge set up his court on the sidelines to prosecute offenders on the spot, while in Rio de Janeiro one team requested that the moat built round their field be stocked with piranhas. In Israel the Union of Referees has decided on a more practical tactic. Last April, after a record total of 42 referees were injured in 175 riots and fights during the season, the union went on strike.
