...preparing for the trip, Nagel's U.S.S.R. Travel Guide ($8.95) is indispensable. Trying to master the Russian language in a hurry is hopeless, but it is a good idea to learn the Cyrillic alphabet. Many words, especially on signs, are really French or English; pecTopaH simply spells "restaurant," Tede^OH spells "telephone." It also helps to memorize about a dozen words or phrases such as "please" (pronounced puzhzal'sta), "thank you" (spaseeba), "now" (saychas), and "then" (patom), for restaurant ordering. The larger Intourist restaurants have menus in four languages including English, and it is a good idea...
...Marie, MacLaine and her lover (Alan Arkin) scrawl "merde" on the walls of a flophouse hotel, dress up as bride and groom, and prepare to end their hopeless affair in a double suicide. She suggests pills, but Arkin refuses to play her end game. "I never took a pill in my life," he declares. "I always use suppositories." When she balks at death by suppository, he produces a pistol.

Barry's hopeless shot sailed far off target, and the 76ers picked up another two points on a foul. Final score: Philadelphia 125, San Francisco 122, thus giving the 76ers their first championship and ending Wilt's eight-year frustration over the fact that he had never been on a title-winning...
...organization did not begin to consider the Lindsay/Ungar threat a serious one until the Rockfeller campaign for Governor in 1966. All through the summer the polls showed O'Connor comfortably ahead and the situation seemed hopeless for the Republicans. Rockefeller asked Archinal and Fino to get a grass-roots campaign rolling for him on the Price storefront Model which had been so effective in the mayoral race. Storefronts were set up but the organization lacked the man-power to run them. Meanwhile, Lindsay Republicans gleefully sat back and watched the regular organization flounder. Then, five weeks before election day when...
