...Soviet Union as the "world's second ranking power." The remark, which surprised many Westerners in the audience, was consistent with the message he has been stressing at home: that the Soviet Union must squarely face up to the problems in its economic system. Soviet Foreign Ministry Spokesman Gennadi Gerasimov later told TIME that it was the first time Gorbachev had put his country's runner-up status so bluntly. Quipped Gerasimov: "He conceded -- to Japan...
Soviet officials last week confirmed rumors that Yeltsin had suffered more than a political ailment. Several days before his ouster, he entered a cardiac unit of an elite Moscow hospital for treatment of "heart trouble." But Chief Foreign Ministry Spokesman Gennadi Gerasimov insisted that "his illness is not a serious one." In any case, Yeltsin was well enough to leave the hospital two weeks ago, albeit reportedly against his doctors' wishes, and attend the party meeting during which he was fired.

"When we approach that deadline," said Gerasimov, "our sportsmen will give their answer." If the Soviets should decide to stay home, other Communist countries might decide to do the same. Despite Moscow...
...West Berlin of $8 T shirts with a drawing of the flyer's Cessna in its now famous background and the inscription INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, RED SQUARE. OPENING MAY 28, 1987. Indeed, so persistent was the hoopla surrounding the strange case of Mathias Rust that Soviet Foreign Ministry Spokesman Gennadi Gerasimov jokingly suggested that the "Cessna company organized all of this mess for advertising purposes." Not likely. As they say on Madison Avenue, no one can buy that kind of publicity...
