Mongolian Monitor. L'Équipe (meaning "team") is the world's finest sports newspaper. It devotes almost half its space to athletic events that take place outside France, offers coverage so comprehensive that it probably would not miss a pingpong championship between Inner and Outer Mongolia.

But this was not all. Now it was time for Moscow to greet still another Asian statesman-Etsusaburo Shiina, Japan's first foreign minister to come calling since the two countries renewed diplomatic relations...
