...business staff has also been taking advantage of the thaw. With Special Correspondent John Scott, Chief European Correspondent William Rademaekers and Moscow Bureau Chief John Shaw, I recently joined our nine international publishing and ad-sales directors for a six-day visit to Moscow and Leningrad.

Six Times-men have been granted temporary visas in the past two years; the paper had reason to believe that it would be the first U.S. daily permitted to reopen a permanent bureau in Peking.

In the spring, the construction site became a sea of mud. Hundreds of yards of dikes and runoff canals had to be built. Fiat had to rely on Soviet subcontractors to supply many of the parts it needed...
