Finally, 37 far-leftists were forced out of SANE, the New York chapter was dissolved and reorganized with a screened membership, and the organization adopted a policy of criticizing the U.S.S.R. as well as the U.S. When Russia's Khrushchev-insisted on a troika to supervise a test ban last year, SANE took ads to say: "We believe that such a three-man council, operating with a veto, cancels out the very purpose of control." When Khrushchev later boasted about firing a 50-megaton bomb, SANE accused him of "an act of nuclear madness" that "contemptuously defied all decency...
...Moscow last week, amid quiet vodka toasts and cries of Mnogie leta! (Many years of life), Nikita Sergeevich Khrushchev turned 68.

...only a heartless old midwife could look unsympathetically at Pat Fay's struggles as Maggie the Cat. She took on the part a week ago--a situation comparable to your kid brother's meeting Khrushchev at the Summit. Admit it. Your kid brother couldn't end the Cold War. Miss Fay, however, very nearly brings off her role with eclat. As it is, she has enough poise and charm to cover up an occasional fluff or to make you forget the juicy lines she lets slip by from lack of rehearsal.
