Dream on, Pollyanna. Yuri Andropov [Nov. 22] is another xenophobe who will provide the cutting edge for the Soviet scythe of oppression. Don Klein Gaithersburg...
Prior to the death of Leonid Brezhnev, a fairly strong consensus had emerged among Kremlinologists that Yuri Andropov would be the next Soviet Premier. Now Soviet experts are speculating on what Andropov's assumption of power means for Russia and for the rest of the world. The Crimson this week interviewed three Soviet specialists from Harvard's Russian Research Center on their views of this post-Brezhnev era. The participants were Assistant Professor of Government Mark R. Beissinger, David E. Powell, a Russian Research Center associate who recently wrote a book entitled Anti-Religious Propaganda in the Soviet Union...

He stressed the Soviet Union's opposition...
...assembled: witnesses contribute nostrils, ear lobes, chins, until a fully shaded face emerges, looking more like a Can-you-draw-this? ad for a crooked art school than a bleeding, breathing person, but nonetheless the best one can do by so splintered a method. So it goes for Yuri Andropov, the Soviet Union's new leader. In past weeks, Western observers have labored mightily to produce a portrait of the man, not by leaning on the ice-block facts of his biography but by poking about for the warm little things: Andropov's tastes, his hobbies, his manner...
