Switches & Splits. The confessions of truckling cowardice that were implicit in the new Khrushchev-Molotov-Bulganin line might do for the inner Kremlin gang. But it was not so easy for Communist leaders outside Russia to explain their own participation in the great deceit. The debunking of Stalin hit world Communists with a deeper shock than anything since Stalin's 1939 pact with Hitler. In what may be the first of many satellite reverberations, the boss of Hungary's Communist Party has admitted that his regime sent five top Reds wrongly to death in 1949 (see below...
...week of General Ivan Serov, boss of Russia's dread secret police (see FOREIGN NEWS), was in sharp contrast to his discreet entry into India and Burma last December-when TIME first turned a journalistic spotlight on him.

Still smiling broadly when he pulled up at the Russian embassy in London's "Millionaire's Row," he chucked the chin of one embassy tot who was waiting in the driveway to greet him, patted the head of another, aimed a last wave and grin at the cameras, and disappeared...
Although the big news from Moscow concerned a dead Joseph Stalin (see FOREIGN NEWS), there was intelligence of another kind about a very live Premier Nikolai Bulganin,, At a party at the Danish embassy, which Nikita Khrushchev was too busy to attend, Bulganin roared toasts to every toastable cliche. At one excited peak he grabbed a martini and fervently cried: "Eisenhower opened the martini road in Geneva! We sometimes drank with him, in the intervals, in martinis to peace and friendship in the world." Feeling extremely euphoric, Bulganin then lurched over to a U.S. military attache, guffawed and grabbed...
