Private Vaslly Terkin was the eternal Sad Sacha, and his fictional military exploits poked sly fun at Soviet officerdom throughout World War II. Russians complained mightily when his creator, Poet Aleksandr Trifonovich Tvardovsky, failed to bring him home from the wars. Last week, to their delight, Vasily was back-with a difference...
...Dance. Very early in its 29 years of programming music. Muzak learned to its great delight that the same music has the same wonderful effect on everybody.

The Continental Congress met in its old College Hall in 1778; ten Penn founders signed the Declaration of Independence and seven signed the Constitution. But later, Penn's deliberate religious freedom sent believers to churchy schools such...
