What makes this act of censorship doubly outrageous is that the Soviet pressure comes less than a year after adoption of the Helsinki Declaration which supposedly made for expansion, not contraction, of the volume and variety of information exchanges between East and West. Prompt reversal of this craven decision is required .to redeem the Olympic spirit.
