...Soviets have come relatively late to the realization that tourism is an excellent way to win friends and earn foreign exchange, they are rapidly making up for lost time. At the moment, hotels in Moscow are booked sol id. But new hotels are going up everywhere, including Moscow's vast Russia Hotel, now partly open, to be completed this fall. It will be the world's largest, with 3,182 air-conditioned rooms. Imitating the U.S.'s interstate highway system, Russia is building 39,000 miles of two-and four-lane paved roads-punctuated...

Autumn used to be reserved for hunting weekends, but since an eye operation in 1965, the duke no longer shoots. The duke and duchess give and go to small dinner parties with such friends as the Eugene de Rothschilds, sometimes attend the theater or ballet on gala occasions. Each December they slip into London, where they stay at Claridge's, for Christmas shopping, returning to Paris...
