...Russians do need the men in factories and on the farms, and admit it frankly. The Soviet economy is expanding. One British economist has estimated that Russia, which is out to match present U.S. production by 1963, will by then be "the industrial giant of the Eurasian land mass." Russia's manpower need is acute because of the low birth rate during the war, which is just beginning to be felt in the recruiting of 16-year-olds. By 1958 there will be only an estimated 800,000 boys and girls entering Russia's work force...
Adam is about as adroit emotionally as he is politically. A long-legged secretary is unaccountably mad about him, but he takes to her with the ardor of a man on a diet taking yoghurt.

Often trailed by as many as four interpreters speaking Singapore...
...familiar task of making simple propaganda for simple minds out of the whole disarmament question. It should now be clear for all to see that in Soviet eyes questions such as West German rearmament are secondary to the central aim of driving the Americans out of the whole Eurasian continent...
