...divisions. It is the only major army in the world that has been completely re-equipped since World War II. Troop transport, at the moment, is not an urgent problem; Russia's army is already well deployed along the Soviet-satellite borders in the west (for potential use against the West or the satellites) and beyond the virgin lands in the east (for potential use against the West or the Chinese Communists).

United Press International rented a room on the square and dickered with a nun for the use of her telephone; the Associated Press signed up a village butcher's phone; reporters lounged in their cars or on cots and sleeping bags, drinking Cokes, shaving in the fountain.
