...display accurately reflected current internal political tension in Cuba. For while Fidel Castro proclaims himself a loyal disciple of Lenin, and dispatches 3,000 Cuban agricultural students to Soviet state farms rather than Chinese communes, Cuban anti-U.S. propaganda sounds more like Peking than Moscow, has never used Khrushchev's slogan of "peaceful coexistence." In any showdown inside the Communist bloc, Peking-style slogans would be no match for Cuba's economic dependence on the Soviet Union. So far, Castro has managed to remain friendly with both Communist titans, but if Khrushchev decides he must force...
Brazilian Communists made their choice five years ago, when Khrushchev launched his destalinization campaign. Veteran Party Boss Luis Carlos Prestes quickly climbed aboard, while a handful of other top leaders refused, were expelled, and openly joined forces with Peking. Early this year Prestes belatedly scheduled a national congress of the Brazilian Communist Party for an unprecedented open debate over Khrushchev's revelations about Stalin, but fear of exacerbating the already open wound forced its cancellation. Last week, after the 22nd Party Congress renewed the controversy, the pressure for public discussion was stronger than ever. Meanwhile, a second species...
...chimes in the Spassky tower atop a Kremlin gate struck 10 as Nikita Khrushchev, his party leaders and foreign guests filed up the steps to the top of the tomb.

Voroshilov made a second attempt to join his old comrades through a side door of the Mausoleum and was ejected by a plainclothesman. He then stood pathetically beside a white-smocked woman selling ice cream and watched somberly as Defense Minister...
...appeared, like a death's head at a feast. Wearing row on row of Soviet decorations, as if to say "They can't take that away from me," he stood at a buffet table, nibbling at hors d'oeuvres and glancing frequently at the enclosure where Khrushchev was shaking hands with members of the diplomatic corps. Voroshilov nipped through the gap between tables and joined Anastas Mikoyan and several friends who were obliged to clink glasses with him before a protocol officer steered him out of the exalted enclosure...
...Nikita Khrushchev, who had stonily ignored Voroshilov's party crashing, chatted with newsmen in his many guises. He was folksy as he confessed to being a "bit tired" after the taxing 22nd Party Congress. He was deferential in describing his readiness for negotiations whenever the West was willing and added, "We can still wait. We are patient." He was bluff and manly on the subject of nuclear testing, agreeing that fallout was harmful, but adding that dropping H-bombs on cities would be a "million times more harmful...
