...internal affairs of the U.S.S.R. when Khrushchev is away, a key man in the cold war. Not long after he began his remarkable visit, TIME decided that he should be the subject of this week's cover. From that hour on, Frol Kozlov was subjected to the heaviest dose of reporting he had ever known...
...Marmorston reported last week on 174 women (many over 70) who had had one or more heart attacks-in nearly every case a coronary occlusion. She divided them into two equal groups, matched as precisely as possible for age and severity of symptoms. One-half got a small daily dose (ten-millionths of a gram) of estrogen, the rest got none. After three years, more than twice as many in the nonestrogen group had died-virtually all from fresh heart attacks or general worsening of the disease...
...Oliver Kuzma, working with Dr. Marmorston and her group, reported parallel evidence from a group of 109 men who got a slightly larger but virtually nonfeminizing dose of estrogen. In addition to an encouraging trend in the male death rate, Dr. Kuzma reported that in most cases the levels of cholesterol and other fat fractions circulating in the blood of heart-attack victims returned closer to normal, with no untoward feminizing effects. And Dr. Kuzma found that increasing the dosage, to the point where feminization was unmistakable, conferred no added advantage...

The kind of stories that fill U.S. newspapers-including international tensions, local crime and disasters-are almost totally ignored unless they make a party-line point.

What passes for news is a massive daily dose of party propaganda, dished out dully: party directives and pep talks, party speeches, party promotion lists, party comings and goings, party polemic and praise. Since Stalin's death, the propaganda dose has been sweetened somewhat in a calculated effort to liberalize the press-and to keep the reader swallowing the party pill. With full official sanction, newspapers began criticizing each other: "Soviet newspapers," wrote Pravda in a recent and scathing Press Day editorial, "are insipid, lifeless, deadly dull and difficult to read." Komsomolskaya Pravda, the youth paper, erupted...
