...intentions, and-fearing that such a purge might involve himself sooner or later- made common cause with Beria. ¶ That something historic happened in the Kremlin the night of Feb. 15, two weeks before Stalin's death. Fact: at the bottom of the back page of Izvestia Feb. 17 appears this laconic death notice: "The Office of the Commandant of the Kremlin regrets to announce the premature death February 15th of Major General Piotr Yevdokimovich Kosynkin and expresses its condolences to the bereaved family."

Alerted by a reader's tip, the Post found to its horror that Boston's Public Library was providing its patrons with Russian magazines and newspapers, e.g., Pravda and Izvestia and the Communist magazine New World Review, as well as with books by Lenin, Vishinsky and Karl Marx. The Post, overlooking the fact that the books and periodicals are standard reference material for serious students of the Soviet system,* criticized the library board for having "Red propaganda" on the shelves, demanded that the books be removed or plainly labeled "Propaganda -Communist." Publisher Fox himself led the attack with...
