...career of Author Ilya Ehrenburg, 74, spans the history of modern Russia from Czardom through Lenin's Bolshevik Revolution, Stalin's years of terror, and the gentler years of the old killer's successors.

Because Russia wants color TV by 1967 for the 50th anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution and needs foreign equipment to meet that deadline, the contenders are avidly wooing the Soviets.

There is no likelihood that the split will be healed in the foreseeable future, but it will obviously not remain the same. With Chou's arrival in Moscow alongside delegations from every Communist nation in the world except Albania (which is being more Chinese than the Chinese), the post-Khrushchev...
