...promised to bury us, then was graciously hosted by New York, and a man who merely said Jews who support Israel are enemies of his country, then was snubbed by the same city. King Feisal's statement [July 1] was a matter of his country's policy; Khrushchev's was a threat...
...fault. With Ranković went Secret Police Boss Svetislav Stefanović, 55, whose ubiquitous UDBA spy network had kept a tough, unrelenting grip on Yugoslavia since 1946. In one stroke, Tito had dismantled the entire upper echelon of his secret police-a move unparalleled in the Communist world since Khrushchev destroyed Soviet Top Cop Lavrenty Beria...

"How are you feeling?" someone asked. "I have been ill," he said, "but every one gets ill sometimes." As the crowd pressed in, a security guard angrily cleared a path, crying "Why don't you let the old man vote in peace?" At another Moscow polling station, former Deputy Premier Vyacheslav M. Molotov, whom Khrushchev ousted in 1957, greeted that aged hero of the 1918-21 civil...
