...acts was to propose the nationalization of steel, and if he keeps pushing such controversial legislation, he may not be around for too long. In Moscow, a new B. & K. diarchy is in power, but unless Brezhnev and Kosygin manage to work in tandem more effectively than Bulganin and Khrushchev did, an internal power struggle may grip Russia and becloud efforts for an East-West detente. Peking's atomic blast may make it more difficult than ever for the U.S. to keep nations along the periphery of Red China from falling under its influence. In Latin America, Johnson must...
...President's reaction to stories from the overthrow of Khrushchev to the Walter Jenkins case is newsworthy; in situations where Goldwater's reaction would be of interest, the Jenkins case, for instance, the Senator has tended to stay aloof and let his subordinates do the shouting. The press devotes yards of copy to him because he is a Presidential candidate, but apart from throwing out an occasional stimulating idea (such as his tax cut plan) Goldwater has done little to earn his space...
Long Authority. Khrushchev was furious, defended himself with a fulminating three-to-four-hour speech laden with curses and invective.

The Central Committee rejected him, but by a close margin. It was nearly dawn. Exhausted, Nikita Khrushchev offered his resignation in a soft, subdued voice and walked out of the hall...
Room with a View. The conflict had been long in the making, at least according to the Kremlin leaks appearing last week. Khrushchev had been voted down by the Presidium last February over his polemical blast at Peking (also composed by Suslov), had to delay a month before making it public while peace feelers went out to Mao and were rejected. He had further irritated the Central Committee by taking a three-week tour of the farm lands on the lower Volga and in Kazakhstan and not reporting back to them; by erupting in anger at Indonesian President Sukarno when...
