...fleet of some 2,600 merchant ships is second to none. In the 95 capitals where Moscow maintains diplomatic representation (up from 71 in 1965), sophisticated commercial attaches are replacing the ill-mannered salesman in the ill-fitting suit who for years was the Soviet stereotype and the object of scorn...
...things can arouse the British as quickly as the opportunity to espouse an underdog's cause. Last week, as the crowded letters columns of the London dailies indicated, many Britons had found just such an opportunity.
