...Sakhaline, bung full with 70,000 barrels of crude from the Caucasus, and three more Soviet tankers tagged in her wake. Often before Constantsa dock hands had cheered the arrival of ships from the "Toilers' Fatherland," fraternized in waterfront dives with Soviet sailors. This reception of the Sakhaline was the warmest ever-but different. Shaking their fists, the longshoremen bellowed at the crew to haul down the Soviet flag.

Last year Fruit Industries, on Mrs. Wille-brandt's advice, brought forth a liquid grape concentrate called Vine-Glo ("Just Pull the Bung") for urban vintners (TIME, Nov. 24). A client is supplied with a keg of nonalcoholic concentrate which Vine-Glo agents put down in his cellar. They dilute it, tend it for 60 days. By then it becomes wine of about 15% alcoholic content.
