In the April 14 issue, you stated that the Baltic people used to go swimming along the beaches of the Gulf of Riga, often in the nude-"the early part of the morning was reserved for men, the latter part for women, and police saw to it that none of the early bathers overstayed their allotted time...

Soviet Painter Alexander Mikhailovich Gerasimov inspected the decorations, found that French Foreign Minister Bidault's room contained only some dull landscapes. Forthwith, Gerasimov ordered them replaced by "lighter subjects," including a nude. In pre-revolutionary days, the Aero Club had been one of Russia's gaudiest restaurants, the Yar; pre-revolutionary Russians still remember the ditty...
