...welcome particularity. The crucial performance is by Film Star Brian Dennehy (Silverado, F/X) as a benevolent yet diffident Lopakhin, less a brash parvenu than a man poignantly conscious of his humble origins and clumsily trying to fit in. He is in his own way just as dreamy as Lyubov (Natasha Parry), the estate's spendthrift owner, whom he constantly upbraids for her impracticality. She ignores the impending auction of her home because any available means to "save" it would change and therefore destroy it. When Lopakhin cannot recruit her to his scheme, he plunges ahead, basing his gamble less...

A story printed a month or so ago in Literaturna Ukraina, a Kiev publication, attacked shoddy building practices and workmanship at the power station.

The main reason, however, was repression inside the Soviet Union. The work of artists like Alexander Rodchenko, El Lissitzky, Lyubov Popova, Natalya Goncharova, Mikhail Larionov, Vladimir Tallin, Kasimir Malevich, Natan Altman, Naum Gabo and scores of others was a collectively ecstatic response to the possibilities of a new world, the Utopia that Lenin called "Marx plus electricity." It was international in range, drawing on the resources of the new movements...
...distance races at the Olympics have traditionally gone to Finns and Swedes, but at Cortina they were not in a class with a Leningrad student named Lyubov Kozyreva, who must have done her homework stretching her cross-country stride. She swung over the lo-kilometer (6.2-mile) course in 38:11, scant yards in front of Teammate Radiya Eroshina...
