...dominated by middle-aged academicians who learned their trade in the heyday of Stalinist realism. Their ponderous paeans to Lenin and heroic bobbin tenders go into official displays such as the Venice Biennale and Expo 67.

Included in it are some 20 pictures from the collection of Nina Stevens, Russian-born wife of the CBS correspondent in Moscow...

He reported to the Telegraph that he was "100% sure" that the voice on the Israeli tape was that of President Nasser...
Voiceprints have also received implicit recognition by the State Department, which sent a Middle East expert to help Kersta examine the Israeli tape. But Washington had good reason to believe that the tape was authentic even before Kersta's analysis: neither Nasser nor Hussein ever denied that the recorded voices were theirs...
