There he piloted Ambassador William C. Bullitt in anO-38F observation plane for hours over targets that his Air Force was later to lock in-Moscow, Leningrad, Kiev, Odessa, the Crimea. There he made his first headlines. While White was flying Bullitt into Leningrad one day, the )0-38F engine iced up, whereupon White pancaked into a field, hit a few rough spots, went over on his back. Ambassador Bullitt wired President Roosevelt: "Landed upside down. Got out right side up." Later the Russians gave White a Soviet military pilot's license. ("Tommy," quips a Washington...
Early this month, first stopping off for a talk with Khrushchev in the Crimea, Marshal Zhukov boarded the cruiser Kuibyshev for a long-planned visit to Yugoslavia and Albania. Clad in rough green hunting suit, he went shooting mountain goats with Tito (he bagged four, Tito one).

So it is with murderous hearts that the decimated Brigade finally overruns the cannon at the Valley's end, to drive lance after lance into the Khan...
...Tito tells it, a great struggle is going on in the Kremlin between his kind of people and those he calls Stalinists. During his secret talks with Soviet leaders in the Crimea two months ago, he noted that "they began getting colder" toward himself and to earlier suggestions he had made for "democratization" of the Soviet satellite countries. However, he "did not take this too tragically," because he saw that "this was not the attitude of the entire Soviet leadership, but only of a section which had imposed its will on the others." In the end, to help them...
