Salt Mines & Big Brother. For the adventurous tourist with more time and money, there are now 100 open cities to choose from. Easily reached by plane from Moscow are the workers' Black Sea health resorts of Odessa, Yalta and Sochi, with their pebbled beaches, plump bikinied women and soft Mediterranean climate. Five hours by plane from Moscow are the ancient Asian cities of Tashkent, Samarkand and Bukhara, with beautiful mosques and colorful bazaars. Northeast of them lies AlmaAta, a 20-year-old planned city that is the capital of Kazakhstan. The Siberian scientific center of Novosibirsk was opened...
Cottle found that middle-class dancing is characterized by "intimate aloneness," particularly in the woman.

...that has always been more or less the case. Even ardent "segs" have enjoyed an occasional tete-a-tete with a well-dressed, soft-spoken Courier reporter.

...Hayes, a soft-spoken North Carolinian who started his career as an assistant editor for Pageant magazine, remained. He rose to managing editor in 1962, editor in 1963. He pacified the staff, tackled a perennial dull-cover problem by persuading Gingrich to try out George Lois, one of the adman inventors of the Volkswagen campaign. Lois, in real life a partner in the advertising firm of Papert, Koenig, Lois, Inc., gives away the $600 he gets for each cover to a Greek charity. Hayes also put across the idea that the magazine's editors should think up the table...
