...task that the Kremlin had undertaken in convening the summit was formidable. There was considerable suspicion that the conference, expected to last two or three weeks, would turn out to be a debacle for the Soviets. Never has the Communist movement been in greater disarray. Once the undisputed fountainhead of Communism, Moscow has seen many parties grow distant and independent and others turn violently against Soviet primacy.

Some attempts to bridge this gap have been notably successful-the cowboy ballets of Agnes de Mille, for example, or the large-scale ethnic dance companies sent around the world with in creasing frequency by almost any nation anxious to make its own culture known.

With the Wallace faction and the antiwar wing sapping his strength from right to left, the Vice President has tried to create a centrist constituency of his own. Thus far, his principal positive support has come from leaders of organized labor. Their muscle, of course, is not inconsiderable. Last week a poll of 2,638 United Auto Workers representatives showed 87.8% favoring Humphrey. The executive board of the Teamsters Union urged its 1.9 million members to vote for the Vice President...
