Next, it was Nikita Khrushchev's turn to peddle two other U.S. items: potato chips and cornflakes. Almost wistfully, he paused in a report to recall his trip to the U.S. in 1959, and how "we sat there in the plane, talking and munching factory-made fried potato chips. They were nutritious and tasty. And they are cheap." Khrushchev's plug for cornflakes was equally enthusiastic. Many people in the U.S. and Britain, he reported, happily breakfast on "vitaminized flakes of corn which are eaten with milk."

...period romance and period humor, attitudes no 1963 playgoer can sustain. Tovarich needed a boldly inventive face lifting, but its book and lyrics sadly sag.

...bulky ex-lumberjack, son of a Russian father and a Japanese mother, who was recruited by a sumo scout when he was 16 and weighed a mere 155 lbs. Apprenticed to a sumo stable in Tokyo, Taiho built up his weight by devouring large quantities of chanko-chicken, cabbage, potatoes, potato peels, radishes, carrots, flour and soy sauce, all beaten into a glutinous mass and served with buckets of rice. To toughen his bulk, Taiho trained for four hours a day, doing kneebends and backbends, and slamming into a wooden pillar with his stomach, chest and head...
