Pieced together from reports in the non-Russian Communist press and triangulated by a few facts gleaned by Westerners in Moscow, the story of Nikita Khrushchev's fall is still far from complete.

Armed only with sticks to protect themselves against the water moccasins and rattlers that abound in the area, the sailors tucked and taped up their pants legs to ward off mosquitoes and chiggers, began poking under every bush and peering down every abandoned well...
