...rival was Novosti (News), a second news agency that as yet possesses little more than a name and an aim: "To expand the exchange of information between the Soviet Union and foreign countries." One of its charter members with a name of his own: Aleksei Adzhubei, Khrushchev's son-in-law. There is plenty of room for expansion of journalistic enterprise. Though impressively big (900 men), Tass is a party-lining sloth whose correspondents are used abroad for propaganda purposes as often as for reporting. Khrushchev may have been prompted to put a fire under Tass by his brushes...
...Ivanovna was brusquely told that Nina had been arrested at her job as manager of a state-owned secondhand store. The callers demanded all of Nina's valuables, and her terrified mother handed over a bag containing some 250,000 rubles in cash and government bonds. Fur-Cutter Aleksei Aleksandrov caved in at the sight of the dreaded secret police and surrendered 300,000 rubles in money and furs.

If their general air of good will was any portent, the summit itself should be festooned with olive branches. To an Air France greeter, Newsman Adzhubei joked (in Russian): "You ought to have two classes on your planes - one for the thin ones, one for the fat." Then he grabbed a microphone, glowed: "I wish everyone a good year and, since...
...long accepted as the badge of well-dressed Soviet citizenship, Izvestia sent two reporters to a clothing industry convention at Riga (which considers itself "the Paris of the Baltic"). Helped perhaps by the fact that their editor is none other than Nikita Khrushchev's son-in-law, enterprising Aleksei Adzhubei (TIME, Sept. 21), the newsmen got some pungent answers to their queries as to why Soviet readymade clothes are so ill-styled, ill-tailored and ill-fitted...
