...Chicago's John Hope Franklin, a Negro. A realistic and often unflattering appraisal of American history, Land of the Free, among other judgments, says that slaves were not happy darkies, that labor and civil rights groups made gains only by overcoming "savage resistance," and that the Boston Tea Party was a "mob scene." Teachers, parents and community groups in 45 different U.S. school districts attacked the book. In Oregon, irate citizens complained that the book overemphasized Negroes. A group called "Californians Against Land of the Free" cranked out a 25-minute film strip assailing it as part...
...convoy of heavy vehicles, field pieces and armored personnel carriers moving down the narrow roads in the foothills of the High Tatra Mountains. At their secluded camp sites in the pine-tree forests, Forbath chatted with Russian soldiers and officers, who talked amiably about their mission and offered him tea. While some other correspondents were running into trouble with both the Russian and the Czechoslovak authorities, Forbath was not prevented from visiting and viewing, perhaps because he speaks both German and Hungarian, the native tongue of most Slovaks in the area...

...Caviar, Tea or Vodka? At 10:55 a.m. Moscow time, Egorov fired up his four rear-mounted engines. Less than 20 minutes later we were airborne, cruising at 34,000 ft., doing 560 m.p.h. The tourist section, frankly, turned out to be roomier and more comfortable than tourist in most European and some American airlines. The six-across foamrubber seats had arms that lifted to provide a little extra room; pulling down the translucent smoked-plastic window shades was like putting on dark glasses. Soon after takeoff, the stewardesses came down with refreshments-tea from a family-sized aluminum...
