...basis of such barely visible clues, weary Kremlinologists stake their reputations. One of the best of the bunch, Britain's Edward Crankshaw, inspired one theory of Nikita's future with a frontpage story in London's Observer declaring that aging Khrushchev might announce his retirement "within two years" at the coming May 28 meeting of the Communist Party Central Committee. Who told him? "Well-informed Soviet sources," of course...
...banker's, balanced-budget sort of economics. (Save for Eugene Black, ex-President of the World Bank, and the economics Edward S. Mason, they also held in common no special knowledge of there subject, but that may have been accidental.) The President's purpose in choosing this blue-chip bunch was very shrewd. He was not nearly so interested in gaining unofficially thought-out views of economic and military programs as he was in providing himself with a club with which to clip Otto Passman, chairman of the Foreign Aid Appropriations subcommittee, behind the ear.

...move might be interpreted as an admission of defeat. Colonel Alois Podhajsky (Robert Taylor), commandant of the academy, rebelliously horsenaps his own herd, ships it to safety in an isolated village. So much for the stallions, but what about the Lipizzan mares? They are prancing through Bohemia like a bunch of damn foals, and the Russians are sure to rustle them unless General Patton rapidly develops some horse sense...
