...move against Medvedev added weight to evidence that Party Leader Yuri Andropov has stepped up the campaign against independent thought that he had begun as head of the KGB. Said Medvedev, who had predicted as early as 1978 that Andropov would succeed Leonid Brezhnev as party leader: "People have been asking me about the new Andropov government, and I've been saying that it's going to be strict on the one hand and appear to be intellectual on the other.

...that they saw was perfunctory television footage when leaders from the seven Warsaw Pact nations converged on Czechoslovakia's capital last week for their biennial summit. The main attraction was the tall, stooped figure who stepped off a Soviet airplane at Prague's rain-soaked Ruzyne Airport. Yuri Andropov was making his first trip abroad since he became party chief last November. As it turned out, his foreign debut did not quite measure up to the advance billing in the Soviet press, but the Kremlin's new leader proved more artful than his predecessors in putting pressure...
