Decay Now, Collapse Later. Throughout rang the repeated cries that the "decayed capitalist shell" is about to break, that "socialism will inevitably succeed capitalism everywhere." Communism's more modest aim is still to catch up with its capitalist rival, the U.S. Curiously, Khrushchev's document has dropped the Soviet pretense that overall industrial output will soon match U.S. production. His target for 1970 is a 150% increase, which would hardly more than equal the U.S. 1960 level. And by 1970, the U.S. itself will have pushed production far above today's mark-barring, of course, the complete...
...Four Words. Moscow's answer to such perplexing capitalist strength, which does not follow the "objective" Communist timetable for the locomotive of history, is fierce, unrelenting attack. The 47,000 words of the new document add up to four favorite words of Nikita Khrushchev: "We will bury you." No chapter of Hitler's Mein Kampf ever spelled out a dictator's goal more clearly: "The success of the struggle which the working class wages will depend on how well the party and the working class master all its forms-peaceful and nonpeaceful, parliamentary and extra-parliamentary...
...using me-I'm using them." The alliance ended in 1952 when the Reds demanded control of key departments as their price for support in São Paulo's mayoralty election. Quadros turned them down. In their wrath, the Communists tried to tie a capitalist can to Quadros with such epithets as "Wall Street stooge" and "the Esso candidate," did their best-as they have in every election since-to defeat him. Quadros took to the streets, boasting that he owned only one pair of shoes ("Why should any man with only one pair of feet need...
...Hirohito and China's Chiang Kaishek, Israel's Ben-Gurion and the United Arab Republic's Nasser ("Did Nasser and Ben-Gurion at the same time"). Khrushchev has been such a regular subject for interviews that the Soviet Premier now regards Hearst as "my capitalist-monopolist friend." Hearst is moved to reciprocate. "May the Good Lord and my esteemed father forgive me," he wrote in a prologue to Ask Me Anything, the book based on Task Force encounters with Khrushchev, "but we seem to get along...
Down with RIAS. It had all been said before, but in East Berlin the little spade beard of East German Communist Boss Walter Ulbricht fairly bobbed with joy at Khrushchev's words. Glittering, prosperous, capitalist-run West Berlin stands in humiliating contrast to Ulbricht's own drab, run-down capital just across the sector border; moreover, West Berlin's refugee centers provide the escape route for most of the 200,000 skilled workers, engineers, farmers and white-collar professionals who flee Ulbricht's miserable country for the West each year, sapping East Germany's very...
