Billboards proclaimed "eternal friendship" for "heroic Albania," the country that Khrushchev seeks to put beyond the pale of decent Marxist society. Alluding to Son-in-Law Aleksei Adzhubei's Washington visit, the Red Chinese press implied that members of Khrushchev's own family were consorting with criminals-the "gangsterlike and reactionary" Kennedys...
