...placate Soviet military men about the talks. If anything, the bluster suggested a split among Soviet leaders over the possible effects of the arms talks-not a planned effort to sidetrack SALT. In fact, the outlook was that after another week or so of sessions in Helsinki, the two teams would go home to prepare for more substantive negotiations...
Amalric's entire argument is in line with the very Russian attitude that the best man is the one who stands and fights -or suffers. Two of his books, both critical of Soviet policy-Involuntary Journey to Siberia and Can the Soviet Union Survive Until 1984?-will be published in the West next year, but without the approval of official Soviet organizations.

Two of the 17s were set down in Israel by blundering Syrian pilots. The third was shot down and repaired with parts from other downed MIG-17s. The faster MIG-21 was flown to Israel by an Iraqi pilot paid to defect by Israeli intelligence. Israeli pilots study and fly all four planes to learn their characteristics...
