...started drifting west in a brand-new Buick Wildcat. He worked his way across the country to New Mexico, taking pictures of real estate for insurance appraisers from time to time. In Albuquerque in mid-1966, a month before his mother's death, he enlisted in the Army. Once in uniform, he was soon recommended for officer candidate school, commissioned a lieutenant and posted to Viet Nam. His elder sister.

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.
