...eased, Russia is becoming an increasingly popular target for tourists. In 1956, fewer than 500,000 foreigners were adventurous enough to travel through the U.S.S.R.-one-eighth the number that visited France the same year-and about three-quarters of them were from the Communist countries of Eastern Eu rope.

But there will be many French and British, a few Arabs and Africans, and about 25,000 Americans (up from...
...Ripcord). He is the king of the "beasties"-outdoor adventure films starring big-name big game. This month, as part of a 14-picture pact with Paramount, Tors released Africa-Texas Style, a semidocumentary with Hugh O'Brian as a cowpoke who hunts big game with a rope instead of a rifle.

The strands are short, and many have to be joined end to end to make up the body's long collagen fibers. Dr. Tomio Nishihara, a physical chemist who heads research for the Japan Leather Co., and Dr. Francis O. Schmitt of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, thought there must be something on the ends of the basic molecules that enabled them to couple. Dr. Albert L. Rubin and an M.I.T. team set about testing the theory. They found that each collagen strand...
