...Russians have kept leak-tight security on the missile program. Western travelers in the Soviet have spotted no missiles save for Nike-type anti-aircraft birds around Moscow and a few others on flat-bed trucks in Moscow parades. This gives rise to a Western suspicion that the Russians are not so advanced in missilery as the Sputniks would indicate. Nevertheless, the U.S. radar posts have "watched" 800-mile flights from the Krasny Yar missile range and from the island of Novaya Zemlya off the northern coast in the Arctic Sea; and the Russians have shot an ICBM thousands...

Now producing at an annual rate...

The World of Suzie Wong (see THEATER) is only the first of a Far East catalogue that includes such forthcoming items as Flower Drum Song, Rashomon, Kataki, Cry for Happy and the umpteenth revival of The Shanghai Gesture. Even the small, off-Broadway houses are braced for the Oriental invasion, with three versions of classic Japanese No drama...
