...they feel welcome. But unlike the Italians, Spaniards and Greeks who arrived a generation ago, they don't find many places that their stomachs can call home. The city has only a dozen Eastern European restaurants. The most prominent: Le Grand Mayeur, a Slavic restaurant with terrific borscht and blini; and Le Jardin de Budapest and Hungaria, both offering Hungarian specialties like stuffed cabbage and Hungarian sauerkraut. For Slovaks, Poles, Estonians and Slovenians, though, the only way to get home cooking is to cook it at home.

...word from Moscow is that Anatoli Rybakov's Children of the Arbat is selling like blini on May Day. An initial printing of 500,000 copies sold out faster than the lines could form at the bookshops. As this classic supply-and- demand problem mocked Marxist economics, the cost of the novel rose from the official price of 2.5 rubles ($4.20) to an extortionist 25 rubles on the black market. Plans at Sovietsky Pisatel and Moskovsky Rabochy, the popular author's two publishers, call for at least 2.4 million additional hardbacks in Russian, plus editions in Ukrainian, Armenian, Lithuanian, Estonian...
