...mama is off at her job flying an airplane. But he also studies the lives of ants, bees and squirrels. He is taught how to identify six mushrooms, twelve birds and the tracks of hares, foxes and wolves. Fully one-third of his reader is unadulterated literature-poems by Pushkin, Lermontov and Nekrasov, old Russian fables and seven assorted stories and anecdotes by Leo Tolstoy, including his Russian version of Goldilocks and the Three Bears...
Gromyko: Sophistry. Gromyko listened stonily to Kennedy-except for a thin smile at a Kennedy gibe comparing Khrushchev's wall building in Berlin to the Czar's orders in Pushkin's Boris Godunov.

Deceptively attractive, the troika seems to promise something for everyone: a committee of three (one Communist, one Westerner, one neutral) to take over every major world problem. Why not? smiled Soviet Delegate Georgy Pushkin to the U.S.'s Averell Harriman at the Laos peace talks last week. "Troika means three beautiful horses moving smoothly in stride, pulling a sled." The catch is that the three must be unanimous, thus guaranteeing the Russians a veto at every step...
