Demichev remains unfilled as ideological watchdog while Vladimir Shelepin's post is vacated, replaced by Aleksei Viktorov whom Brezhnev may elevate, signaling a cautious jockeying for influence ahead of the 25th Congress.

Lee's amnesty oath found by archivist in old papers
Archivist Elmer C. Parker uncovered Robert E. Lee’s amnesty oath hidden in a 12 inch box of unsorted State Department papers in the National Archives. The find clarified why Lee, who urged others to accept pardon, had not been clearly pardoned after the Civil War. The discovery supports ongoing legislation to grant Lee citizenship retroactively and restore his status.
