...donated a fleet of trucks and armored vehicles to roll in the parade down the palm-lined streets of King Mohammed V's old capital of Marrakech. This year the U.S. dutifully came through with another $3,500,000 worth of motorized equipment and weapons-part of a fiveyear, $20 million military-aid program...

The Bolshoi company is schooled in a dingy, three-story building at No. 2 Pushechnaya Street in the heart of Moscow. The training school (one of 14 state ballet schools in Russia) is swamped by applications from 1,500 Russian 7-to 9-year-olds each year; no more than 40 are accepted.
