...addition to the increased accessibility of written materials, the recent "opening up" of Soviet Russia has enabled Western scholars to visit the country, to establish contacts at Russian universities and to confirm or correct their previous impressions. The first step in this process, came in 1956 with the 30-day tourist visa. Fainsod made his first visit to the U.S.S.R. in that year and has returned several times since. Almost every person connected with the Center has been to Russia at least once in the last three years...

Thus, when the red rays in the morning sun strike a leaf, the light-sensitive pigment changes into its new state and stays that way until sundown.

In the process they have broken almost every advertising rule in the book. Their ads are casually illustrated, almost never done in color, and they can pussyfoot around a subject so quietly that the reader sometimes has trouble telling what the ad is about. What they do have is fun, an aged-in-the-wood humor that...
