Leonid Brezhnev and cozy, cadaverous Aleksei Kosygin. More probably, Chou, who was closeted with B. & K. at least once a day for most of last week, felt he was getting somewhere with his Russian adversaries-not fast but fast enough. After all, Peking's great enemy, Nikita Khrushchev, had been sacrificed; now both sides could make at least limited concessions...
...face and huge eyes go wild. Her Lydia Languish pouts, purrs, and scolds with vivacious charm. Katherine Squire as Mrs. Malaprop declaims her ridiculous lines with such assurance and poise that they seem even more ridiculous. Earl Montgomery as Sir Anthony is a combination of Elliott Perkins and Nikita Khrushchev, polite and civilized one minute, stamping and roaring the next. As his son, the Captain, Richard Clarke views the behavior of Sir Anthony and Mrs. Malaprop with amused tolerance and woos Lydia with well-bred ardor.

Dogs and cats, slaughtered wholesale for food during the Leap, are again appearing with impunity in Peking and Shanghai, and even birds-once relentlessly exterminated as predators-have returned to Canton...
...second time Olga had had to pay for her devotion: after the Stalin regime accused Paster nak of intellectual heresy, she spent four years in a concentration camp, was re leased only in the amnesty following Stalin's death in 1953. Last week, possibly as a consequence of Khrushchev's ouster, Olga, at 59, was again free...
