Object of Tass's excitement: the typical U.S. home that thousands of Russians will see in Moscow this summer as part of the first major U.S. exhibition in Russia (TIME, March 16). The six-room house, dubbed a "splitnik" because it will be split through the middle to give Russians a better look, costs $13,000, contains $5,000 worth of furniture supplied by Manhattan's Macy...
