Along with misunderstanding of his country, Stevenson met with warm hospitality toward himself. Accompanied by his sons John Fell, 22, and Borden, 26, Law Partner William M. Blair, and Russian Specialist Robert Tucker, he found official smiles and small but friendly crowds in big cities, rural hamlets, Siberian industrial towns rarely seen by Westerners.

Since then, short (5 ft. 3 in.), stocky Samuel Irving Newhouse, 63, the son of a Russian immigrant, has strung together an empire of 13 newspapers.
