Excerpt from Russia Without Illusions
We naturally had our fair share of the discomforts and unpleasant nesses of that period. We saw, as those educators in Moscow who counseled us where to go said they wanted us to see, the worst as well as the best of Soviet life. And we also saw a fair sample of what lies in between. To read Mr. Sloan's descriptions and judgments is to vividly live over again the experiences of that period.
