...says the paper, are nightclubs in the Black Sea resort area. As things are, the only pleasant memories a vacationer takes home are "the temperature of the water and how the magnolias were blooming in the park." What the proletariat needs is "marvelous little places-nightclubs for lovers and quiet evening gathering places for family people...
...drab, two-story building on Montevideo's bustling Boulevard España looks as quiet as a convent. It is hardly that. Inside is the Soviet Union's biggest embassy in Latin America and the clearinghouse for Soviet propaganda and subversion in the Southern Hemisphere.

All this requires an awfully large chunk of willing suspension of disbelief.
