...Slight Doze. With Communism thus briskly bounding forward in all directions all at once, it was curious that Khrushchev saw almost as many enemies at home as abroad. Nearly a decade after Stalin's death, and years after Khrushchev presumably eliminated the last remaining Stalinists from positions of power, he found it necessary lengthily to repeat his past criticism of the "personality cult" and all the attendant evils of the Stalin era. Then Khrushchev proceeded to fill in some details of his fight with members of what he called the "antiparty" group, who had "violently opposed" his critique...
...Congress Presidium, dutifully joined in by clapping his hands at his own condemnation. Nikita then went on to denounce Nikolai Bulganin, who was straightman in the touring company of Khrushchev and Bulganin until his 1958 demotion. Bulganin, in the audience as a delegate, seemed to wake from a slight doze at the mention of his name and made a few notes.

Nobel prizewinning Physicist Willard Libby plans to take a large supply of sleeping pills into his own $30 did-it-him-self shelter, so that he and his family could doze out most of the ordeal.

Others purvey all-purpose packages, such as the Bolton Farm Packing...

Everything else is closed along the main street, where the local Africans doze in the shelter of over hanging sidewalk roofs, occasionally rising to walk out into the drizzle and urinate on the sidewalk...
...Dozing on the Lawn. In the Congo, the rule seems to be: when in doubt, issue an ultimatum. This time the ultimatum came from Justin Bomboko, once Lumumba's foreign minister and now head of the high commissioners temporarily in charge of Mobutu's government. Warned Bomboko: "If tomorrow morning the U.N. has not delivered up Lumumba to the Congolese National Army, the army will assume its responsibilities. If we fight the U.N., well, we fight the U.N. We have delayed long enough." But as usual in the Congo, when the zero hour arrived, nothing happened. Mobutu...
