...Nikita Khrushchev's day, such a public protest might have landed Esenin-Volpin in the Lubyanka. In fact, he was released with nothing more punishing than a lecture on "orderly public procedures" and a warning that he could expect to be denounced in the press. What is more, it seemed that Sinyavsky-Tertz and Daniel-Arzhak would indeed receive a public trial, probably next month in Moscow. That did not mean the pair would get off scot free, but it was progress of a sort...
Meeter & Greater. Mikoyan's succes sor as Soviet chief of state is Nikolai Viktorovich Podgorny, 62, who rose to power as a protege of Nikita Khrushchev's. A hard-bitten Ukrainian with little experience in foreign affairs, Podgorny's main claim to power in the hierarchy was his control of party cadres-a job he may well lose as a result of his "elevation." The Soviet presidency is largely ceremonial, and without strong party posts its occupant is little more than a meeter and greeter.

Presumably they both will scoop Julia Petrova, a Novosti reporter whose grandfather, Nikita Khrushchev, is not a very good news source any more...
...reporter who plays ball reaps some rewards. Tips come to him from Russian journalists, who have usually been put up to it by their editors. In this way, Jaffe was the first Western correspondent to learn of Khrushchev's ouster. The leaks are often dubious. In the spring of 1964, word went out from a West German wire service that Khrushchev was dead. The story was picked up by papers around the world. Later, the Germans explained that the leak had originated with the Russian news service, Tass. Suspicious correspondents decided that the Central Committee, already scheming to depose...
