...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 have been saying) that Russian advocacy of peaceful coexistence was a sellout to capitalism. Peking's Vice Premier Li Fu-chun promptly retorted that China's Communists "are the real Marxist-Leninists." lashed...
...thunderous noises could be heard offstage. The Russian press and radio breathed fire and rattled rockets, accusing the U.S. and the "imperialist West" of closing ranks behind Belgium in a plot to steal rich Katanga from the Congo.

A Chinese Communist trade delegation to Cuba, headed by Deputy Foreign Trade Minister Lu Hsu-chang, closed a deal with National Bank President Ernesto ("Che"') Guevara to buy 500,000 tons of Cuban sugar each year for five years. A fifth of the payment is to be convertible...
...idea of Russian bases in Cuba is "bunk-comic-opera stuff." The Kremlin is too smart for that since such bases would be indefensible. Communists in Latin America are concealing direct ties to Moscow, hammering at the U.S. as "the colossus of the North" through nationalist, anti-imperialist propaganda themes laid down by the 21st Communist Party Congress at Moscow in early...
