...Peking meanwhile, pictures of Albania's Enver Hoxha, who is the other symbol of the Stalinist-Chinese line, appeared on posters all over the city. 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...

Europe's reigning royalty was conspicuously absent, but 180 lesser bloods crammed into the small Russian Orthodox chapel, where only three seats were set up-for the three onetime monarchs among them.

...Albania has repeatedly defied giant neighbors from Rome to the Byzantine Empire to the all-conquering Turks. Even under Communism it seems to have lost none of its old talent for chip-on-the-shoulder recklessness. But whether or not Enver Hoxha will get away with it depends not on him but upon decisions being made in faraway Red China. For what is at issue is not the submission of Albania to Khrushchev but that of Peking. For the time being, Hoxha continued to denounce Khrushchev as a traitor to Marxism, while Red China's Peking Review proclaimed: "Albania...
