- <p> Burying communism in the Soviet Union is proving more
- difficult every day. A Soviet newspaper reports that the state
- funeral agency in Orel, an agricultural center south of Moscow,
- has stopped making coffins because of a wood shortage. The
- local plant, however, will accommodate those who supply their
- own wood for a departed loved one. Porch planks and fence posts
- are preferred. One local worker helpfully suggests that "all
- who intend to leave this world wait a little bit."
