description -
Mr. Fischer, an editor of Harper's Magazine, has read a lot about Russia and spent two months in the Ukraine during the spring of 1946 as an official in UNRRA. He comes to conclusions similar to Snow's -- that Russia and America can't be expected to like each other but that they can nevertheless get along for the time being since the men in the Kremlin cannot risk a war at present.
