Gorton followed Dresner to Moscow and encountered in Dyachenko a shy, intelligent and idealistic young woman who for some time recoiled at even the most mild American-style dirty trick.

At their first meeting across a long table covered in green felt, Dyachenko confided, "I don't know this business. I don't know what to ask."

This is an American family with only one value: tell the vulgar truth about everything, be it sex, talk shows or the price of airline tickets. They are particularly choleric about our obsession with calories. Nothing green and leafy is permitted at their groaning board, and exercise consists largely of lurching for seconds...
