...influence have succeeded in opening eastern Mediterranean ports to Soviet warships. Ironically, the Moscow-financed buildup of Arab armies also played a major role in starting the 1967 war-and thus in closing the Suez Canal, the only practical Soviet naval route to the Persian Gulf and Indian Ocean. The 1967 disaster did, however, produce one advantage for Moscow: the intensive retraining needed by the shattered Egyptian forces enabled the Soviets to penetrate them with instructors, down to battalion and squadron level...

I spent most of my life in a Los Angeles slum and my last four years of high school in white, middle-class America. If I had a choice between the two for my children, it would not be the latter. However, I confess to being excited about the moon landing. I would have felt the same had it been Russia or Red China. It's the first time in my life I've seen the possibility...
