...through the jungles and coffee fincas to a settlement in the Andean backlands 25 miles outside Bogotá. The men carried leaflets: "Viva the organized masses!" A Red caudillo, Víctor Julio Merchán, delivered a welcoming harangue, and the stubble-bearded troop responded with a clenched-fist salute. From an equally isolated redoubt not far to the east, a second Red band, commanded by Juan de la Cruz Varela, peddled at gunpoint 1 peso coupons bearing Lenin's picture and the appeal: "For a great Communist Party...
...became quite animate. "The great majority of the people approved of what he said in his speech. He is almost always able to express the essence of what Russians feel on a particular issue. He speaks very well for us. As for the hitting (Mrs. Titova tapped her fist on the arm of her chair in delicate imitation of Chairman Khrushchev) that is not the important thing.

"He's been up three times," cried Nixon to the baseball-conscious Pittsburghers. "He's struck out three times...
...revelation of a new musical personality. A longtime friend of the Soviet composer, Richter managed to illuminate the lyric qualities usually obscured by the percussive Prokofiev style. Even in the most frenzied and violent passages-notably during Sonata No. 6, when he flailed the keyboard with a clenched fist-Richter drew forth a tone that was warm instead of strident, as full of shadings as a guttering candle flame.
