- <p> If his grandparents hadn't left for the U.S., Billy Crystal
- could have been in the Politburo. The comedian's heritage
- figures in a just filmed fall TV special. Besides cavorting in
- Red Square and staging a family reunion, he did a stand-up
- routine at a Moscow theater. "I was getting laughs in Russian!"
- he says. The audience delighted in a Crystallization -- mimed
- to jazz -- of a debate between Mikhail Gorbachev and Communist
- radical Boris Yeltsin.
