...Moscow. I communicate only with those who guard me from others-and who guard others from me." Thus begin the reminiscences of former Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, who was the most powerful man in the Soviet Union from 1955 until his downfall in 1964. Khrushchev's rather forlorn comment on his enforced six-year silence is all the more poignant coming from a man who stood for so long at the center of history. At week's end the ex-Premier, 76, was admitted to a Moscow hospital, reportedly suffering from his second heart attack this year...
...Those affected by "The New Face of Unemployment" [Nov. 2] deserve our sympathy. My sympathy is restrained, however, with regard to the recent male graduate of Columbia College whom you describe as forlorn because his $45-a-week unemployment compensation is running out. He is forced to live with his mother in order to meet car payments, and after 100 interviews for positions in journalism, advertising or public relations, he is still jobless. I suggest he take a typing and shorthand course and seek a job as a secretary. Female college graduates have been told for decades that...

In a far recess of the Senate chamber, a vestigial cluster of radic-libs cowers as a troglodytic terrorizer in tailored twill cracks a whip...
...family. His daughter Mona loudly backed the fedayeen and badgered her father by letter to leave the government. When Daoud, aghast at the extent of the carnage in Jordan, finally did resign, the guerrillas announced that they would hold him, among others, responsible for the fighting. A bitter, forlorn figure, the general decided to go into exile in Libya...
KARL E. SMITH, 54, is a shy, forlorn man who is almost marooned in his solitude. To find him, a visitor heads north from Fresno, Calif., and up into the Sierras, following a single-lane trail that winds endlessly along 9,000-ft. precipices. Finally, the traveler arrives at Florence Lake, and there is Karl, smiling nervously, waiting in rumpled cowboy clothes, wearing a three-day beard and smelling of horses. He helps you into his aluminum outboard motorboat and you putter to the other end of the lake. There you mount a horse, and three hours later, after climbing...
