...naturally wanted to meet the astronauts who had adopted his creations; so they were introduced and exchanged gifts. Schulz received a photo of the space-traveling Snoopy making an inverted rendezvous with Charlie Brown. The inscription: "Snoopy never did know which end was up anyway."

Most nights, Moscow's Estrada Theater is alive and kicking with song-and-dance troupes. For the past two months, though, sellout crowds have packed the old hall to watch two men sit for hours at a table, each exquisitely immobile except for an occasional flick of the wrist.
