...Moscow last week, a spotless, modernistic fish market opened on Komsomolsky Prospekt, enabling the average Soviet citizen to buy fresh caviar for the first time in recent years. Across from Moscow's city hall, an Italian-built, self-service supermarket went into operation, offering Bulgarian chickens, Spanish oranges, Moroccan sardines. Established shops blossomed with chinaware, meat grinders, bath towels and other goods that have long been scarce...
...long and lavish luncheon at the residence of one or another. In an effort to accomplish more business, it was decided that the Americans would cater the meal during one meeting.

As a result, Russia's caviar output has decreased; one-third of the sturgeons' spawning grounds are high and dry. Meanwhile, most municipalities lack adequate sewage treatment plants, carbon monoxide chokes the plateau towns of Armenia, and smog shrouds the metallurgical centers of Magnitogorsk, Alma-Ata and Chelyabinsk...
