Los The odds against either achiev- firm ing the success that each has sling were, to say the least, imposing. fortt Both were born in tank towns - the I Nixon in Yorba Linda, Cal., cipe Brezhnev in Kamens'yoke (now Stall Dnephodzerzhinsk) in the Uk- Cent raine - of humsble parents: The Brez 66-year-old Brezhnev's father was Stall a steelworker, the 60-year-old B Nixon's a streetcar motorman minc and, later, a general store pro- WatA prietor. goin Success came neither quickly, goin easily nor uninterruptedly for ei- the ther man. Nixon failed to make Niki the Whittier College Football beet team, to graduate Number One Khm in his Duke University law school Ing t class, to get a job with a big-city er in law firm or to become an FBI H agent.

Brezhnev, like Nixon duri his first term, has demonstrat a propensity and .an ability concentrate -power in his oj hands at the expense of real potential -rivals. In 1971, 1 packed the Politburo with to of his proteges and this spring I ousted t*o foes, Pyotr Y. Shek, and Gennady I. Voronov. So, make one thing perfectly clei Brezhnev is, as they used to s about somebody else, the'one, Dealing with a capo .I Brezhnev, who has climbed ladder of other men's bones a is just as tough in his intert tional dealings (does anyboi remember who order the Rus sian invasion of Czechosloval in 1968?), would seem, at best, tricky business. And Indeed 'it: is. But Bre2 nev, like Nixon; has his eyes i the history books and is pi pared to eschew the anti-cap alist rantings of his earlier care (the mirror-image of the youl Nixon's professional anti-comm nism) If by so. doing he can go access to the financial credi and technology of America whi, alone can save the Soviet Unior economy - and hence the Coi munist political establishment from its own internal contj dictions. Like the Czar Peter the Grej Brezhnev would borrow from t West that which will make Ri sia more poweiful, more secui But as the Kremlin has ma, clear, computers are one thir compassion another. Indeed, foreign techniques and tectil clans are employed to an evi increasing extent in the Sovi Union, repression Is likely mount in an attempt to vaccina the subject peoples of the Sovi Union and Eastern Iurope gainst the virus of freed6m, t cancer of ideas. Detente with the Soviet Uni< is desireable if only because t ultimate,alternative, nuclear we is unthinkable. But a deter bought at the price of stratei arms agreements which conce more than nuclear nrity to t Soviet Union, purchased at t price of grain, deals which di up food costs for hard-press American consumers, obtain at the price of a U.S. capital vestment in Soviet tyranny whi smacks more of aid than trade, is net much of a deten particularly if It is obtained bartering away the freedom generations of Russians and Ea ern Europeans yet unborn. In short, Brezhnev, as Nix must realize as they wing towi the Rockies, is not the sort man you'd buy a used samos from.
