...technicians heralded a break between Russia and China comparable to that between Stalin's Russia and Tito's Yugoslavia in 1948. But last week, months after Nikita Khrushchev's first open split with Red China's leaders over basic Communist dogma, the battle was getting hotter-and the relationship colder-than ever. Moscow's Izvestia, scarcely veiling its Red Chinese target, railed against "leftists" and "phrase-mongers" who "assemble and sometimes distort quotations to repeat over and over again that imperialist wars are inevitable," adding that only "fools and dogmatists" could say (as the Chinese...
...enemies of dictators who fell in Argentina, Venezuela and Colombia. Last week, after pro-Communist gangs attacked crowds leaving Havana Cathedral, Archbishop Diaz threatened that the Cuban Catholic Church might declare itself officially "in silence"-as it is behind the Iron Curtain. As the Castro-Catholic battle got hotter, church attendance showed a sharp and significant upturn...
...mass is 96% of the sun's, yet it gives 400 times less light. At first they thought that it was an average, sun-sized star that gives less light because of low temperature.

Cash in Advance. With Elvis just discharged from the Army and hotter than a radioactive yam-his new record, Stuck on You, is boiling with sales, and shooting began last week on his new movie, G.I. Blues-Parker is busier than ever filling out deposit slips. This week on ABC-TV, Frank Sinatra and his fellow clansmen are welcoming Elvis home-and the gesture is costing Frankie $125,000. This time the Colonel will accept a check, but he usually prefers cash-in advance. Las Vegas' gaudy New Frontier once pleaded that its check was as good as anyone...
...from Old Vienna, Alex King is too savvy not to know that his brand of nonconformity is a hotter commercial item right now than togetherness. Before Mine Enemy grows weeks older (it just appeared in a paperback edition), the royalties from that book alone will cross the $100,000 mark. The third volume of King's memoirs is under way, and will contain no anecdotes ("It is about me"). Perhaps he has been wounded by a recent sally. "I notice," said a fellow wit, "that you are not going to ruin your autobiography by putting your life into...
