...repackaging the hard line, not to softening it. His cleverness failed about the same time as his kidneys. The Euromissile deployment went ahead on schedule at the end of 1983, just as Andropov was becoming a disembodied voice communicating to the world and to his own people through ghostwritten Pravda "interviews...
Once in exile and facing the prospect of flagging vocal powers, Vishnevskaya, 58, turned to writing her autobiography with the same fevered intensity she invested in her operatic roles. These are no ghostwritten and-then-I-sang memoirs.

The nonprofit Human Life Review, which has a circulation of some 10,000, did not pay the President, nor, according to Editor J.P. McFadden, was Reagan edited. McFadden suggested last summer to presidential aides that Reagan contribute an essay, and the manuscript arrived in the magazine's New York office only five weeks...
