...Party last week. In the marble Hall of Columns in the House of Unions, once a nobleman's club, 2,000 party members heard Nikolai Mikhailov, Moscow district party leader, read out the communiques of the Plenum and the Presidium. One of Communism's great wolves had fallen, and the lesser wolves were tearing at his carcass. Reported Tass: "Speakers at the meeting spoke in wrathful indignation of the foul enemy of the party and the Soviet people-the international imperialist agent Beria," and the audience cheered...
There is some reason to believe that Malenkov may have fallen out of Stalin's favor in recent years; but it was already too late for the old dictator to choose and train a younger man. Had he calculated, in his last frantic seeking for a successor who would not throw away all he had won, on a balance of power? Was that what was meant by "collectivity of leadership"? In the milieu of bloody totalitarianism-his own creation-such an arrangement seemed like the product of a failing mind. Nothing was to keep so smart and faithful...
...apartment by winning permission to come & go as she pleased. Winthrop was in Little Rock. Ark., ostensibly to go into business but more likely to qualify himself for a divorce after three months' residence. Scoffed Bobo: "He's not the barefoot-boy type. He has not suddenly fallen in love with the heartland of America."

...four days and four nights, twelve inches of rain had fallen, with a recorded peak of 21 inches at Hita, Oita Prefecture. The toll: 457 known dead, 1,114 missing, 901 injured; some 800,000 homeless; 4,000 homes destroyed or washed away, 300,000 homes damaged or flooded, 350,000 acres of rich paddy and upland fields ruined and gone. The cost: $50 million to $100 million. For Kyushu, where it rains twice as much as it does elsewhere in Japan, it was the worst flood catastrophe in 61 years...
...kind of bargains before U.S. and European businessmen. In their "ruble offensive," the Reds hope to cash in on the growing desire for a vast revival of East-West trade. A year or two ago, when European businessmen could sell most of the goods they produced, it would have fallen flat. But now, with shortages about gone and world markets shrinking, the Soviet Union's East-West trade proposals make businessmen's mouths water. Moreover, since tariffs limit their U.S. markets, and U.S. law (the Battle Act) prohibits MSA beneficiaries from selling "strategic" goods to the Communist bloc...
