Popovich is now on his second American visit. The first was a brief one, coming over last March only long enough to participate in a press conference to announce the tour. Upon his return to Moscow he married Isolda Abakovi, a member of the Mednikovi tightrope act. That act is also on the current tour, along with trained bears, horses and tigers, the clowning and juggling of Alexander Frish and The Flying Cranes, an aerial act.
