...hotels in the Caucasus attract rising young bureaucrats and party officials, and diners-out in Moscow can see an elaborate floor show at the huge Arbat restaurant, with gypsy dancing, jugglers and magicians. Yet long lines are still a feature of Moscow life; they form daily outside the Georgian-style Aragvi restaurant and the popular Seventh Heaven, a new yet already shabby revolving restaurant 700 ft. up the 1,600-ft.-high Moscow television tower. The Bolshoi Theater is sold out weeks in advance, and outside the Moscow Circus people queue up in hopes of last-minute cancellations. No wonder...
...back from a crescent-shaped driveway, the white Georgian manor sits atop a grassy knoll, its bright red door beckoning in the sunshine of an early Virginia spring.

His appointment is a clear signal to the South that its support for the G.O.P. will not pass unnoticed...
...whistling the scenery" is the axiom of the musical theater. Yet audiences will at least go out whistling at the scenery. John Box's sets-the largest ever made in England-are miraculous recreations of higher and lower London. Here are the scrubbed Georgian facades of Bloomsbury, the madding, clangorous market streets, the crowded mass of blackened chimneys and gables in the Thamesside jungle. All, all are lifted from England of the 1830's and set down without so much as a cobblestone out of place...
