Died. Frol Romanovich Kozlov, 57, onetime No. 2 man in the Kremlin; after a series of strokes; in Moscow. Urbane and well-dressed, Kozlov was the stereotype of Communism's second-generation apparatchiki-the flexible party bureaucrat who could work with equal fervor for Stalin, Malenkov or Khrushchev, while carefully testing Moscow's changing winds. His real rise began in 1957, when, as a member of the 130-man Communist Central Committee, he shrewdly backed Khrushchev's bid for power, shortly thereafter became one of Nikita's two First Deputy Premiers and heir apparent; his decline...
Ever since the French Revolution of ficially ended in 1794, historians have asked whether it enlarged or diminished the sum of human freedom. Joining the debate with revolutionary fervor, Robert Roswell Palmer, a specialist in 18th century France who is on the faculty of St. Louis' Washington University, plumps unequivocally for the Revolution, charging that its detractors have besmirched an "inevitable" and largely admirable chapter of history...
Colopy and his wife Loretta joined the center in the late 1940s, overwhelmed by Feeney's zeal and fervor. Married in 1949, they had five children by 1954.

The difference is imperceptible except that Tiger is equipped with an ideological fervor so single-mindless that even the Birch Society might suspect he is some kind of nut. It seems that, thanks to "the college boys in striped pants and the eggheads in Washington, our government has become a joke all the way down into Mau-Mau territory"; the West is sure to "lose everything"-unless Tiger and his extragovernmental CIA can stanch a critical security leak at the U.N. The "commy bastards," it turns...
...LAOS. A Laotian bonze is likely to remind questioners that for a priest to talk politics violates one of the 227 Theravadan rules of conduct. The constitution stipulates that the King must be a "fervent Buddhist," but fervor in happy-go-lucky Laos covers a multitude of careless religious enthusiasms. Perennial civil war has left Buddhist practice virtually uninvolved, though near the Luang temple, skilled, cigarette-puffing monks cheerfully cast their Buddhas in brass melted down from 37-mm. and 105-mm. artillery cartridges...
