Intrigue put Khrushchev into power, but he acts as if popularity will keep him there. No more beguiling or wilier demagogue has come down the pike in Soviet Communism's 40 years in power. "In our agriculture, Comrades," he told a Czech audience last week, "we see a great progress at present. Frankly speaking, we sometimes experience childish joy in it. Some workers in our trade organization sounded an alarm, saying there are no freezing plants to store our pork. I told them that we would easily solve this situation, which they chose to call a disaster. There...
Ibbotson opened up. For one wavering second, he hung by Front Runner Jungwirth's shoulder before blasting by the slim, blond Czech. Back in the pack, Delany frantically started a last-lap kick that started the crowd bellowing with delight. Delany sailed toward the front, but Ibbotson streaked across the line 10 yds. in the lead.

At last year's fair in Bogota, Colombia, the U.S. spent less than $500,000 (v. $1,500,000 for the joint Czech-East German pavilion), had to resort to an unimpressive display of photographs to picture the abundant U.S. in action. But fair planners in the Department of Commerce have learned to stretch their dollars by leaning heavily on private business to contribute products, exhibits and top executives to the trade missions at the fairs. They have also learned that commonplace U.S. gadgets...
