...steam without doing too much damage, and 2) the government a line on potential revolutionaries. But, as Hungary and Poland had demonstrated, Moscow could only look with horror on the concept of "beneficial small strikes" in East Germany, Czechoslovakia and Rumania. (When Khrushchev's American TV interview was published in Russia, the only remark censored was Khrushchev's benign dismissal of the Mao Doctrine that there could be any friction between leaders and people in Russia...

The President's criticism jolted newsmen.

They are always talking of the good old days. But in those days painters were starving. Nowadays a painter with...
Next day the network offered its "sincere apologies for any personal distress resulting from this telecast," scrapped kinescopes that would have carried the interview to eleven of the 79 stations handling the show, gave Parker and Hamilton an offer-which they scorned-of equal time on Wallace's show. Parker and Hamilton, shrewd cops with good records (whose names are familiar to viewers of Jack Webb's Dragnet), filed complaints of criminal libel against Cohen and his TV hosts both in Los Angeles and Manhattan. Parker announced that he would sue all concerned, including sponsor Philip Morris. Also...
