...their return to Moscow the junketers faced a full-dress attack by Old Stone-bottom Molotov. Playing up to a Western-minded opportunist like Tito, declared Molotov. was a betrayal of Leninist-Stalinist policies that he, as the last active co-worker of Lenin, could only condemn. It was Old Bolshevik Mikoyan who rose in the secret Central Committee session to answer that the Yugoslavs could and must be drawn back into the Soviet orbit, and to go on to indict past Russian policy-including his own trade deals-for failing to recognize and adjust to nationalist tendencies...

Abdul Rahman, one of whose adopted daughters is Chinese, has a long record of successful political cooperation with Malaya's Chinese, and the Ministers of Finance and Commerce in his new Cabinet are Chinese...

Plot synopsis: a mad psychiatrist turns a sensitive adolescent into a hairy, ravening beast. Says 30-year-old Producer Cohen: "I heard that 62% of the movie audience...
