...which blood is shed, the cheaper the blood." In fact, the West does not forget-or hold cheaply-the Russian people, dead or living. It would know more about them except for restrictions imposed by the Kremlin's masters. Last week TIME Correspondent Samuel Welles went to Stalingrad, cabled...
Somehow I had never expected Stalingrad, the worst blitzed city of the war, to be cheerful. But the people are as chipper as chipmunks. A woman with the fine, warm features of an old coin stopped to say: "This was a beautiful city." A friendly little fellow, quietly steeping himself in vodka at the hotel bar, came over to condemn Truman and then explained that tonight he was going to get only "culturally" drunk, that is to say, not stinkingly so.

Forty of them inspected the Kremlin (BUT NARY A GANDER AT JOE, headlined the New York Daily News). Side trips to Leningrad, Stalingrad and other cities were coming up. And a wide-eyed party was escorted through the nine-story plant of Pravda, Russia's biggest (circ. 2,500,000) newspaper...
