...Washington, the federal establishment was almost as hard hit as the retailers, with 15% of the government's 300,000 employees out with the flu.

Communist jargon and classical music are the usual radio diet of the Soviet citizen. But during five years of U.S.-Soviet detente, listeners in the Soviet Union had a simple alternative.
