The Soviet Union is becoming less like its past and more and more like its future. The numerous ugly vestiges of czarism and the wounds of a costly revolution are disappearing before the emerging contours of another era. The Soviet Union's present is beginning to be a blueprint of its future. Tiflis has a new and broad Riverside Drive, straight new streets hewn out of the hills in the town, blocks of new students' dormitories and rows of new workers' homes. Hundreds of fine, big school buildings, started several months ago, are nearing completion in all Soviet cities.
