...government thereupon set off in confused pursuit of a program. The only clear lines were do-good fervor at home and opposition to dictators abroad. The Communists were freed to operate openly for the first time since 1953; the Communist paper Hoy appeared immediately. Though only 12,000 strong in a population of 6,500,000, the Communists infiltrated some rebel columns during the fighting, rushed into the convenient vacuum in organized labor and grabbed five out of 18 seats on the executive board of the hastily formed rebel labor federation...
After a short pause came the weekly "Free Play" period, which is in many ways the most interesting section on the program. Freed from the confines of an artificial, pre-arranged scheme of notes, the ringers are enabled to express themselves directly, each one following his natural and spontaneous whim, without the constraining necessity of noticing what his fellow-ringers are doing. The bells are without doubt an ideal medium for this kind of improvisation, providing an immediacy of response and variety of expression unsurpassable on any instrument.

...allowed as a sideline. Khrushchev wants to abolish this privilege. The people of his native village of Kalinovka, he said, last year "at my suggestion sold their cows to the collective farm . . . and, far from making out worse, have actually improved their material position." Their women were also freed, he pointed out, for more work on the collective. And in a significant echo of China's commotion, the Soviet Premier urged: "The time has come to organize, not only in towns but also in collective farms, communal dining halls, laundries, bakeries and nurseries...
