...weeks after the crime, in Money, the scene of the murder, an already-growing reaction was setting in against outside interference. A good many intelligent people here feel that the NAACP deliberately aggravated the local populace in order to create a propaganda martyr, on the assumption that if the two defendants, Milam and Bryant, were convicted, its crusade would suffer. This indictment may be untrue, but the NAACP could not have gotten better results, even if it had tried.

(Today he half apologizes for the article by pointing to all the nasty things the Western press has said about Russia.) Oistrakh seems to enjoy a large degree of independence from the usual restrictions on junketing Russians. Getting interested in a conversation with a Western friend in a cafe...
