...high point of the Lenin gala, it was Brezhnev who commanded the brightest spotlight and biggest headlines. Before an audience including 66 foreign delegations, Brezhnev rose in the Kremlin's modernistic Palace of Congresses to deliver a three-hour, 82-page speech. (Kosygin followed the next day with a talk that lasted all of ten minutes.) Pausing only to sip cherry-flavored water, Brezhnev spoke self-confidently on a wide range of subjects, taking a tough but carefully qualified attitude. Nations fighting against imperialism, he said, will always have in Russia "a reliable and true friend." Enlightened circles in "bourgeois...
...haphazard undertaking. Director-Cinematographer Michael Wadleigh organized a 25-man crew on only a few days' notice, shot over 120 hours of footage, then edited it all down in a frantic seven months. It is no small tribute to Wadleigh's dexterity that the film's three-hour running time passes with the mesmerizing speed of a Jimi Hendrix guitar solo. There could comfortably be even more.

Bernard de Truchis de Lays, 34, who had served for two years as executive officer of the Minerve but had been transferred a few months before she was lost. At 7:13, the Eurydice sent her last message: she was diving in calm seas off Cape Camarat, 35 miles east of Toulon. A few minutes later, a geophysical laboratory picked up the shock waves of a violent underwater explosion...
