Horrors! The stunt worked all too well. A Manhattan-based representative of Moscow's Literaturnaya Gazeta hopped on a plane for Vulcan. A Russian charity committee said it was willing to consider a donation to help reopen the Big Sandy. Said Robinette, aghast at what he had unleashed: "Lord, Lord, get me out of this mess." Happily, someone did. State Highway Commissioner Charles L. Miller suddenly announced a $500,000, one-lane bridge for Vulcan, to be built within a year. All of which caused the New York Times to suggest, tongue in cheek, that if the Soviets were...
...after Plyushch's press conference, Moscow's Literaturnaya Gazeta printed a derisive rebuttal of his statement, which suggests that Soviet authorities knew in advance what he was about to tell. Dismissing such accounts in the West as "dirty gambling on human tragedies," the Moscow literary journal defended the Soviet system of mental care by citing the cases of other dissidents who had been locked up in mental hospitals in the Soviet Union and were found to be truly sick when released to the West.

...buying the traditional paintings, both for their timeless beauty and as a practical hedge against inflation. The images have become so popular that last week Russians were buying up a first edition of a samovar-table book on the subject (with 50 color plates) at $11 a copy. Literaturnaya Gazeta complained that some citizens purchased icons simply to "create an illusion of eccentricity of thinking or way of life"-in other words, to express their individuality. The images remain a sufficiently powerful symbol of religion and the old regime that many collectors feel compelled to keep them in the back...
