...your covering of my recent arrest in Miami by Federal authorities [TIME, Dec. 14], I note that although you recognize that I maintained a democratic government-an honorable and almost miraculous record in these days of "strong men," "people's democracies" and "international hypocrisy"-you characterize that democratic government as "graft-ridden." I will not claim that my administration was 100% free of graft. No administration-democratic or dictatorial-could ever make that sweeping claim, just as no nation could truthfully boast that it is free of crime. What a government can and should do is to combat graft...
...that my arrest has been a "big headache" for the U.S. State Department because "Latin Americans . . . would unfailingly interpret it as overt U.S. support of Strongman Batista."

Beria. ex-boss of the Soviet secret police, chief of Russia's atomic program and longtime comrade-in-arms of Malenkov. had broken down and admitted to the "most serious crimes against the state." Beria. added Radio Moscow, will face trial "at a special sitting of the Soviet supreme court...
...eliminated and loyal Malenkov men substituted as chiefs of the secret police. Whether the new regime had to call in the army to assist in the purge is still not clear, but one fact is: never before in the 36 years of Communist rule until the arrest of Beria, had the Kremlin found it necessary to announce that the leaders of the armed forces supported the authorities in the measures taken...
