Ever since the dramatic climax of the Kasenkina affair (TIME, Aug. 16 et seq.), the U.S.S.R. has looked ridiculously like a man who has lit up an explosive cigar. But last week the Soviet Foreign Office shaped its singed eyebrows into a frown and did its indignant best to act as though some capitalist had thrown a bomb...
...Jovial Man. The musical comedy aspect of the affair reached its climax at week's end when Consul General Lomakin sailed for home on the Swedish American Line steamship Stockholm. He waved to photographers with the jovial air of a man who might be seeing them again. (He can claim re-entry because he is a member of the United Nations Subcommittee on Freedom of Information and of the Press.)

Like many another U.S. home, it has a television set, but no library. Harry and Betty seldom leave this pleasant place for parties, never for nightclubs. When they do go out it is usually to a ball game or the movies (preferably westerns) or the race track. Aside from the children (Vicki, 4, and Jessica, less than 1) and the poodles (Wow and Gaffus), the James's major hobby is horses. Both Betty and Harry own horses...
