Standing so firmly that his tasseled loafers appear bolted to the classroom floor, James Gulling is a pillar of poise. Despite his newness to teaching, he has developed the most telling idiosyncrasy of the seasoned school teacher: he has eyes in the back of his head, or so his students believe. Mr. Gulling, who is 22 years old, calls roll, collects homework and leads class discussion with the unruffled aplomb of a veteran. To his students at the Ronald Edmonds Learning Center, a junior high school in Brooklyn, he is a regular teacher.

In the Siberian city of Tomsk last week, 60 customers lined up in the cold for a chance to buy soup bones. Across town, the Tomsk electric bulb factory was handing its workers hefty rations of fresh pork from the plant's private pig farm. In the Arctic port of Murmansk, the monthly sausage ration is 12 ounces a person.

REMEMBER doe eyes and white lipstick? False eyelashes and falls? Minidresses and patent-leather boots? If the answer is yes, chances are you were around in the 1960's. In which case, you may not be too enthusiastic about the current revival of 1960's fads. True, nothing is being revived to look exactly as it did then, and no one is trying to bring back Nehru jackets or Carnaby Street suits for men, but women are seeing plenty of miniskirts, psychedelic prints and headbands.
