...help you all we can to build up your own great oil industry," and a squad of "Soviet oil experts" stepped forth with figures to show Indian planners what their boss meant. On their side, the Indians agreed to set up a state trading corporation next month for the sole purpose of doing business with Communist countries. To organize Soviet purchases of Indian commodities, Russia's former Deputy Foreign Trade Minister Vasily Sergeev is now installed, with the title of Economic Counselor and a large staff, in the Soviet Union's New Delhi embassy...
...scouts run out. The sky is green, the surrounding desert an odd shade of pink. Suddenly a big. black robot drives up, addresses the commander (Leslie Nielsen) in cultured English, invites him to visit the planet's only human inhabitant, a mad scientist (Walter Pidgeon).

He turned to politics and was elected as a Gaullist Deputy from the Alpes-Maritimes department, served until he was defeated by a Socialist in last January's elections. As a Deputy, Dassault proposed to the National Assembly that he solve France's critical housing shortage by mass-producing prefabricated, low-cost ($5,000) homes, to be financed with 80% mortgage loans from the government. Though "Maisons Dassault" settlements sprang up in his own constituency, French...
