While Richard Nixon whistle-stopped his way through the vast expanse of Siberia, the world barely noted the foreign ministers' conference grinding to an inconclusive end in Geneva. In Vienna, young Americans and Russians alike were learning some of the facts of international life at a rowdy, Red-run youth festival.

Gone are the toomlers, the noisy resident clown's who sang welcome and farewell songs for guests and yakked it up all over the lobby. Instead, there are art schools, beauty parlors as jammed as airraid shelters under attack, discussion groups, dancing classes. And everywhere, from swimming pool to dining room, there is the lavish style show that the guests put on themselves...
