Siberian Forest. If the U.S. Pavilion is subtly propagandistic, the Soviet (two to three hours' wait) is strictly hard-sell. The visitor is immediately overwhelmed by an Orwellian film of Lenin haranguing a crowd. Since Russia is pushing the centennial of Lenin's birth (TIME, April 13), there is an inevitable glass case filled with Lenin artifacts, including his Communist Party ID card. Perhaps the most startling experience for a visitor is to step off an escalator and find himself in a remarkable, lifelike Siberian forest, complete with cool breezes and chirping birds. The Soviet space exhibit, emphasizing...
...than $100 a year, prostitutes, and the unemployed (over 10 per cent). I lived in Cuba in that year of 1956, and people in Colon and Pinar de Rio didn't even seem to be sharing in that $520. Venezucla's per-capital income is even higher-$800; any visitor to Caracas who has seen the miles of mud-built slums knows that per-capital income, as applied to Latin America, is pure poppycock...
...visitor was not impressed by America: "The desperate contests between the North and the South; the iron curb and brazen muzzle fastened upon every man who speaks his mind . . . The stabbings and shootings, the coarse and brutal threatenings exchanged between Senators under the very Senate's roof, the intrusion of the most pitiful, mean, malicious, creeping, crawling, sneaking party spirit intc all transactions of life ...

Syndicated Columnist Erma has a big space between her own front teeth. She also has, by her description, "fat calves, unmanicured hands, makeupless eyes" and is "overweight, overworked, over-childrened and underpatienced." But one thing is clearly going for her: irresistible humor about the trials of being a housewife...
Integrated Activity. The most stunning of the new resorts is Avoriaz, which sits on a snow-covered shelf overlooking the Morzine Valley in Haute Savoie. Built in 1965, Avoriaz reeks of chic; it has become the St. Tropez of the mountains. The visitor leaves his car in the valley, boards the téléphérique and settles back to enjoy the eight-minute ride (perhaps with Frequent Visitor Brigitte Bardot) up the steep, jagged mountainside. If he does not own an apartment in a condominium, he will most likely stay at the HÔtel des Dromonts...
