...Admiral was taking nonsense from nobody-not even Massachusetts' Democrat John W. McCormack, chairman of the committee, who made the mistake of observing that one of his subcommittees once recommended that there should be more stability in the technical services of the military establishment.

It was Old Bolshevik Mikoyan who rose in the secret Central Committee session to answer that the Yugoslavs could and must be drawn back into the Soviet orbit, and to go on to indict past Russian policy-including his own trade deals-for failing to recognize and adjust to nationalist tendencies in the satellites. Molotov never recovered from the trouncing that Khrushchev and Mikoyan gave him at that meeting...
