A zampillaerrotationist is one who makes a profession or an art of skating-on rollers. I don't like your whim of setting telegrams in caps. Singularly difficult to read them that...
This lunch was by no means "diplomatic." It was instead an affair of the earthy type of Big Reds who are fist-deep in Russia's toughest problems and rather scorn the Soviet Foreign Commissar, "Maxie" Litvinoff, and his English wife Ivy.

They dress shabbily, do not use firearms and are abjectly terrified every time a tall, fatherly police sergeant appears to question or scold them. Even their slang-in which a policeman is a "rozzer," a pal is addressed as "china"- is more quaint than sinister. Thus the great million...
