Alexander (Sasha) Krivopalov, a reporter for Komsomolskaya Pravda, the official newspaper for the Young Communist League (daily circulation over 3 million), was also a favorite among students and spent an afternoon at the CRIMSON, sitting through an editorial meeting and discussing the paper's operations with the President, Alan H. Grossman...
...Cheryomushki district, where huge apartment buildings are being erected to relieve the housing shortage. Included in the cast are a construction worker, a museum guide, an old man who stubbornly refuses to leave his apartment in "Warm Alley" for the new development, and a married couple named Sasha and Masha, who are forced to kiss goodnight each evening and retire to their separate dwellings. Eventually all the characters get apartments in a triumph over the bureaucratic housing director and his scheming wife...
...even for the serious student, the film capital still has its lighter moments. In line of duty, Goodman has turned out in Roman toga to recline on a sofa and eat roast suckling pig at the Sasha's Palate restaurant (TIME, Nov. 30, 1953).

In addition to buffalo steak, Sasha's offers such items as suckling...
Violinist Alexander Schneider, 43, has had a crush on Haydn for 22 years. As a young man, he and three other musicians sat for most of two days and nights playing all of the old master's 83 string quartets, while friends fed and watered them. Vilna-born "Sasha" Schneider has always wanted to repeat the performance-at leisure-for a public audience. Last week he and his new Schneider Quartet wrapped up a cycle of 16 concerts-some 40 hours of music in all-with Haydn's seven quartet interludes for the Lenten season, The Seven Last...
