...rule that nobody leaves a social event before the President does, only a handful of the 140 guests managed to outlast him. Even Aides Marvin Watson and Jack Valenti, one of whom usually escorts the President to his White House bedroom each night, ducked out quietly while their boss danced...
...many of the 6,000 comrades who swarmed into Moscow last week for the 23rd Communist Party Congress, getting there was hardly fun. The Rumanian delegation, led by Nicolae Ceausescu (TIME cover, March 18), was forced to land in Kiev; Czech Party Boss Antonin Novotny had to wait 16 hours in Leningrad for the Moscow fog to lift. Once they arrived, the delegates wandered the city like conventioners anywhere, clicking pictures of the Spassky Gate, shopping at GUM, or lining up to peek at Lenin, whose tomb was banked in flowers and bedecked with signs reading "Glory to Communism."

Egorychev was tapped by his superiors to deliver a lengthy speech explaining the difference between the sins of Stalin and the heroism of the Stalin era, a piece of Soviet doubletalk that...
...There is a long, hard way to go," says Printers Boss Bert Powers, who can be counted on not to make things any easier. Understandably anxious for support, the new papers have applied for membership in the New York Publishers Association, from which the Trib resigned last fall. But the association, is not likely to be in any rush to let them in-the last thing the other New York papers want is to be dragged into another strike. And at week's end strike talk was in the air, and strike votes were being taken...
