General Drinov was sitting in his dugout, three floors down, following the action through a periscope.

More than once Mr. Mercator had hinted that he would be happy to invite Marlen Mikhailovich to his flat in town or his dacha in Karachel....But each time the subject came up, Marlen Mikhailovich gently changed it, and Mr. Mercator would make it clear he understood and all but apologize for having been so forward: who was he to invite so high an official to his house?
