Nothing Soviet General Secretary Mikhail S. Gorbachev's indignation over the show, expressed at a recent press conference, Pipes said the Soviets should be the last to complain. He said anti-U.S. films released in the Soviet Union have depicted American officials as villains and Nazi collaborators for years...
...deal to allow Burda to appear four times a year in the Soviet Union was struck last May as part of Mikhail Gorbachev's campaign to upgrade the quality of Soviet life. Part of the magazine's expected appeal is that it publishes sewing patterns of its fashion offerings, which Soviet homemakers will be able to copy.

As hosts, the Soviets agreed to assume the trip...
...talk show airing this week. Though Donahue is not the first TV host to broadcast from the U.S.S.R. (the Today show's Bryant Gumbel, for example, spent a week there in 1984), he and his crew were given the most unfettered access to average Soviet citizens since Party Leader Mikhail Gorbachev's policy of glasnost, or openness, took hold. Studio audiences were chosen at random by Donahue staffers (accompanied by a Soviet escort) from grocery stores, movie houses, skating ponds and other locations around Moscow, and no restrictions were placed on the questions asked. Donahue also became the first Western...
