Piety in the Sky. Kozlov was on hand at 6:30 next morning, more chipper than the night before, to board his chartered airliner for a lunch date with California's Governor Edmund G. Brown in Sacramento. He slept during much of the trip but managed to rouse himself long enough to hold an airborne press conference. First crack out of the box, Hearst Reporter David Sentner asked Kozlov why Khrushchev did not curb subversive activities of U.S. Communists. The question seemed to shock Ambassador Menshikov, but not Kozlov. Said he blandly: "Our country never interferes in the internal...

But I can never pronounce the name [kosh-tchoosh...
...Russian troika (three splendid, high-stepping white horses and carriage) to his host, aging (75) Industrialist Cyrus Eaton, was invited for a ride, no sooner got one foot on the little carriage step than the whole shebang lit off around a snowy track at full speed. Jaunty and chipper, he hung on, alighted at last with a gallant swoop of his hat, as Mrs. Eaton cooed: "You're the bravest man I've ever heard of." Eaton, who regards himself as a kind of missionary for Russian-U.S. coexistence (see BUSINESS), received the gift-a memento from...
