...Leningrad, the nine Governors-sat down to a caviar-to-strawberries feast hosted by the city's top Red, drank toasts to peace, friendship, good relations, mutual understanding, culture, trade, U.S. youth, Soviet youth, U.S. women and Soviet women, broke out in I've Been Workin' on the Railroad and Auld Lang Syne. And in Moscow, Dennis Michael O'Connor, 26, U.S. exchange student at Moscow University, and Mary Louise McMahon, 22, lately arrived from Tenafly, N.J., got married in the city's only Roman Catholic Church. Why get married in the U.S.S.R.? Explained...
...Russians play the game for the propaganda value, i.e., one picture of a grinning Frol Kozlov toasting a grinning Dwight Eisenhower cannot help taking the heart out of would-be satellite rebels. Moreover, the Russians want credits and trade to build up their industrial strength.

The Soviet Union spent more than $10 million on the New York show, which touches on nearly every aspect of Russian life from art and ballet to city planning, and sent their First Deputy Premier Frol Koslov (see NATIONAL AFFAIRS) to preside at the opening. The 10,000 exhibits are good, bad and indifferent by U.S. standards; the overall...
Avoid "Janitor." Encyclopedic in managerial lore, Nickerson is perhaps most fascinating in discussing the semantics of the trade. In what might be called Nickerson's Law of Apartment Ad Copy, it turns out that "redecorated" and "spacious" will make a prospective tenant's mouth water more longingly than any other words. "Owner" is the O.K. word today for landlord ("The New Deal fostered a bitter reaction to 'Landlord' "). An accomplished owner delegates most of his work to his "manager" ("Avoid the word 'janitor' ... a higher-class manager can be hired by referring...
