...back-cone of society, and good, reliable citizens, the "B" and even the "C" group are more apt to make the headlines, and shape the course of history. Their flaws may be associated with factors which drive them on, not permitting them to be contented with the status quo...
Under the circumstances there is no quid pro quo for the U.S. to open its heart or its plans to Russia. Litvinoff does not ask that.

No two candidates could better represent their respective sides...
