...prepossessing satellite, the military press back in Moscow, on an unseen cue, began to publish editorials pointedly attributing Russia's World War II victory not to its generals but to the "indispensable leadership" of the Communist Party. Political commissars throughout the Soviet armed forces held protest meetings to complain that their authority had been so undermined by line officers that the political education of Soviet troops was being neglected. On the day before Zhukov finally returned, Khrushchev held a meeting with the top brass of the Moscow military district-a meeting at which he apparently disclosed his intention...
...grille with 160 square nubs, an improved "flight-pitch" Dynaflow transmission, new air-cooled aluminum brakes and a new, high-priced ($4,663 top) Limited series. Olds got the same extensive body change, plus an improved Hydra-Matic transmission and air-suspension ride. One surprising change: for those who complain about the horsepower race, Olds has reduced its standard V-8 from 277 h.p. to 265 h.p.

"Never in the history of the appliance industry have we had a time when so much faulty merchandise was being received," says Al Bernsohn, vice president of the 5,000-member National Appliance and Radio-TV Dealers Association. In a recent sampling, 70% of the members polled reported an increase in broken appliances from the factory. Railroad-salvage salesmen bucked them on to cut-rate retailers, and the discounters in turn passed them on to the public, leaving the independent repairman to handle...
...medical supplies, but with long, niggling messages on ideological and political matters. Why did Tito call one of his detachments the "Proletariat Brigade"? Could he not just as well fight under his real name of Josip Broz instead of using the conspiratorial nickname of Tito? Later, Stalin was to complain about the Soviet red stars the partisans wore on their caps: "What do you need red stars for? You are only frightening the British. The form is not important...
