...Georgy Malenkov. Khrushchev charged that the man he ordered off to central Asian exile last July had "fallen under the complete influence of the sworn enemy of the people and the party, the provocateur Beria," and become the late secret-police boss's "shadow and tool." Said Khrushchev: "Holding a high position in the party and state, Comrade Malenkov not only did not hold Stalin back, but with great skill made use of the weaknesses and habits of Stalin during the last years of his life. On many occasions, he prompted him to actions which deserve the strongest condemnation...

Most Americans honestly believe that they hold the document sacred-but how many really agree with the various freedoms guaranteed in the Constitution? Not many, if a sampling produced last week by Sociologists Robert McGinnis of the University of Wisconsin and Raymond W. Mack of Northwestern is to be taken as good evidence. Sampled: students at the two universities and teachers in the Wisconsin public schools, who were asked whether they agree or disagree with 14 statements based on the Bill of Rights. Whether the students went to a public or private school made no difference. Nor did it, matter...
