Abstract
As the Romanian Express rolled into the Gara de Nord shortly before midnight, I gathered my bags to board the Moscow-bound train. Alone and a stranger in Bucharest, I was about to begin the last leg of a journey to become a Fulbright lecturer at the leading Soviet university. I had always welcomed the opportunity to increase my understanding of American history by teaching it aboard. Having been a Fulbright professor in Italy in 1967-68, 1 felt fortunate in having an invitation to teach at Moscow State University during the second semester of the academic year 1977-78. I was due in early February, and had lectured for three weeks in Poland and Romania en route to Russia. Now, as the train slid out into the night, I reflected on the value of this travel as an introduction to the Soviet Union.
