Into Louisiana's house of representatives one day last week stormed a bulky, rumpled man, his collar tabs curling up over the lapels of his loose-hanging suit, his paunch bulging over his low belt line, his Western-style straw hat in hand. Governor Earl Kemp Long strode straight to the rostrum. "Double-cross!" he bellowed, in his gravel baritone. "I had 69 votes!" The bill before the house was one of the governor's favorites, and it had just gone down to defeat. Even as Earl bellowed, his floor leaders took their cue; member after member rushed...
...Moscow's Dynamo Stadium, First Party Secretary Khrushchev, straw hat perched precariously on his egg-bald pate, volubly told a crowd of 75,000 that Western friendship for Yugoslavia had been based only on 1) the Soviet Union's conflict with Yugoslavia and 2) the hope that Yugoslavia would return to capitalism.

Since the raid involved a minimum of hand-to-hand fighting, Disney partially supplied the lack with a skull...
Walking out from his Moscow residence in a cream suit and white snap-brim hat, with his wife, Tito pointed out the house in Pushkinskaya Street where he lived in the 30's, paid a visit to the famed Lux (renamed Excelsior) Hotel, onetime headquarters of the Comintern, from which hundreds of foreign Communists were dragged in midnight raids during the great purges. Taking refuge from crowds of gaping Russians in an ice-cream parlor, Tito ordered champagne and cakes...
