PEOPLE, Page 53Comrade!By Emily Mitchell/Reported by Wendy Cole
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.
