...Communists? Under czars and commissars alike, Russia has never been a major U.S. customer because it had neither enough hard money nor desirable goods to offer in return. Before the one-shot U.S. wheat deal, the largest recent U.S. sale to Russia was $4,000,000 worth of inedible tallow. Now Khrushchev says that he wants to buy billions of dollars' worth of industrial plants and equipment to make chemicals, fertilizer and other products. For that, he probably will need heavy loans.

The device is leggy, busty, 30-year-old Debbie Drake (38½-22½-36) herself. She does calisthenics. Loyal women viewers of 58 TV stations drag themselves out of bed early enough (7:30 a.m., E.D.T.) to puff along with Debbie as she does 15 minutes of sinuous stretches and stupefying deep breathing. While the women writhe, their husbands too are profiting by the sitting-up exercises (they...
