Russia's flirtation with market mechanisms comes at a time of swift and startling economic change across the whole Communist-bloc spectrum. Hotel lobbies from Warsaw to Bucharest are jammed with Western businessmen scrambling to get into Communist markets. The "imperialist agents" are getting an interested reception in ways unthinkable a few years before. Negotiators for West Germany's giant Krupp empire last week were tidying up a deal to build plants in Poland that will be German-owned but will employ Polish labor, and Hungary and Rumania have expressed lively interest in similar permanent, paying capitalist boarders...

Atherton is a vice consul at the U.S. embassy, and his purchase can only be an imperialist plot. The Russians, mostly as sobersided as Military Attaché Vassily Popov, who keeps his watch on Moscow time, charge one another with high treason. The Americans, generally as collegiate as Atherton (his qualifications: Princeton courses in "Great Ideas of the West" and "Great Ideas of the East"), try to turn...
