Mayors everywhere are expected to be boosters, and Tashkent's Hunuddin Asamov is no exception. Last week he was busy extolling the tourist virtues of his ancient city in Soviet Central Asia to a pair of wary travelers: Pakistan's President Mohammed Ayub Khan and India's Prime Minister Lai Bahadur Shastri. "We have planted parks and gardens, over 2,000,000 trees, 1,500,000 shrubs and 80 million flowers," wrote Asamov in an open letter.

...certain reputation to maintain. "You just don't ask a chef to serve red snapper with the skin still on it and beets with cream all over them," he declared with grim finality after last week's dinner for Pakistan's President Mohammed Ayub Khan. And so, at week's end, he quit the Great Society for café society, probably in Manhattan, where a chef of renown can command impressive sums for preparing dishes never dreamed of by Howard Johnson-or Lyndon...
