...staff works under constant tension, not to get its facts right as on most other newspapers, but to be sure to toe the line. In its tortuous progress (sometimes with no advance notice from Moscow) many a staffer has been caught zigging when he should have been zagging. The commissars also keep a watchful eye on the personal lives of all employees (present total: 57, including business staff). Since the staff employees are all party members, they are subject to the party's discipline, which rules out such bourgeois reporters' vices as office parties and poker games. Staffers...

Pollen, he says, can be the trigger that sets off a series of reactions that wind up as a pain in the big toe; it may be pollen by itself, or in combination with certain foods, plain or fancy, to which certain people are sensitive...

But here he is the victim of a greater incongruity-a script that manages to make sex look pretty stale...
Russian scientists, like Russian artists, must toe the party line. Soviet biologists who disagree with the scientifically naive theories of T. D. Lysenko, Communism's pet geneticist, run the risk of being "disciplined." The penalty for arguing is demotion, imprisonment or worse (TIME, Sept. 6). Economists and statisticians who have deviated from the official line have also suffered. But until recently, Russian physicists were left alone. The Soviet Union, struggling desperately to make an atomic bomb, needed all its physicists...
