Heroin and cocaine are not the only poisonous temptations for the young of today: There is also the insidious toxin of propaganda. A truly massive dose ofitisin preparation right now and will be disseminated from July 27 to August 3, in Moscow’s Olympic Village.

At risk, if Soviet estimates are valid, will be some twenty thousand young people from 150 countries, plus another ten thousand foreign visitors. Less at risk (in that they are already poisoned) will be fifty thousand young people from all parts of the USSR, plus 12,000 Soviet “tourists.”
