...year has risen from nowhere to become one of the nation's remarkable leaders of men." He was working, we said, "with a spiritual force that aspired even to ending prejudice in man's mind." He was the Man of the Year for 1963, appearing on our Jan. 3, 1964, issue as "the unchallenged voice of the Negro people and the disquieting conscience of the whites." At the time of the historic integration confrontation in Selma, Ala., he was on our cover (March 19, 1965) as "the foremost leader of the civil rights movement...

...already had. A few days before Brezhnev's speech, Attorney Boris Zolotukhin was expelled from the party, apparently for defending one of four young writers sentenced last January to prison terms ranging from one to seven years (TIME, Jan. 19). Along with Zolotukhin, the party also expelled five intellectuals who signed a formal protest against the star-chamber aspects of the trial.
