Last week, for example, there was no advance notice of the launchings from the Pentagon or the test center's headquarters at Patrick Air Force Base. Beyond the standard communiqué, "A missile has been fired," newsmen got not a shred of official information on the tests. As late as last week, not even last June's abortive Atlas launching had been confirmed, though newsmen have long known many hush-hush details of its performance...
...days later, a vague communiqué spoke of agreement on "concrete forms of cooperation." But Tito, who insists that each Red state should work out its own brand of Communism, managed to head off any references in the communiqué to "the Socialist camp" and "proletarian internationalism," two phrases dearly loved by Moscow to indicate domination of all Communism.

Scores of cities and towns named Molotov or Kaganovich petitioned with punctual unanimity to have their names changed. Ukrainian Premier Nikifor Kalchenko charged...
...country's greatest postwar victory. It consisted of a set of fundamental changes in Washington's Japan policy that will go far toward establishing his fully sovereign and renascent country as the U.S.'s coequal partner in the Far East. In a joint communiqué issued by the President and the Premier after their talks and from less official leakage, it was plain that Kishi had come, seen...
