...recent weeks passed word to its Arab client states that no more Soviet weapons earmarked for their armies are to be passed along to the fedayeen. When the Palestine Liberation Organization publicly complained that "the Soviet Union persists in ignoring the rights of the Palestinians," Moscow's Sovietskaya Rossiya hauled out one of its strongest epithets, labeling them Trotskyites. For good measure, it added that their aim of "the liquidation of Israel is not realistic...
Clumsy Canard. Kosygin arrived at a time of rising anti-Soviet feeling in Czechoslovakia. Earlier in the week, that feeling had been exacerbated by an article in Moscow's Sovietskaya Rossiya that called Dr. Thomas G. Masaryk, founder of the Czechoslovak republic and the country's most revered historical figure, an "absolute scoundrel." The journal charged that Masaryk in 1918 paid a Russian terrorist named Boris Savinkov 200,000 rubles (then worth some $10,000) to kill Lenin. Masaryk's memory is enjoying a fresh outpouring of honor and homage in the wave of current reform...
...credo as old as the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution. But last week Sovietskaya Kultura, the official publication of the Soviet Ministry of Culture, suddenly came out for a party line.

If she were sexier, argued the newspaper's columnist, with something less than perfect logic, "she would have been forgotten long ago." Still, remembering her performances in An American in Paris and Lili, Moscow's Louella sighed approvingly: "She is a fine actress, always believable, and an excellent...
Formerly pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Tonawanda, N.Y., Roberts in 1962 became the first Protestant chaplain ever assigned to Moscow's U.S. colony. With his wife and daughter, he spent a year in Room 306 of the Sovietskaya Hotel, holding services on alternate Sundays at the British and American embassies. Finally the Soviet agency responsible for helping foreigners found him two adjoining apartments in a new building. Roberts had the wall separating his two living rooms torn down to create an area large enough for his church...
