Sadly Mistaken. On the other hand, if Khrushchev expected that he could bully and stampede the free world into a state of defenseless fear, he was sadly mistaken. "We must not be cowed," said Secretary General Shigesaburo Maeo of Japan's ruling Liberal-Democratic Party, "but must reaffirm our determination to continue resistance against such inhuman conduct." Said Philippines President Carlos P. Garcia: "If Russia does not stop her defiant disregard of the feelings of entire humanity, she will inevitably reap what she has sown." Britain's Prime Minister Harold Macmillan spoke for the entire free world when...
...renewed testing was not based so much on fear of fallout as the feeling by some Government officials that the U.S. will suffer an international political disaster if it resumes atmospheric tests. The notion is that many unaligned nations and wavering neutrals will be glad to stop yelling at Khrushchev, who frightens them and pays no attention to them, and start yelling at the U.S., which acts the part of a gentleman and in the past has taken their complaints with utmost seriousness.

Promised Monuments. Having reduced the attractions available in the Red Square mausoleum-one of Moscow's top tourist centers-Khrushchev hastened to make up for the loss. He inaugurated a huge, brand-new, Rodin-style statue of Karl Marx, and promised yet another monument-to Stalin's victims. Khrushchev evidently hoped that he had succeeded in laying Stalin's ghost once and for all; that it would no longer roam the Soviet land with a clanking of chains reminiscent of Lubianka prison, or eerie moans recalling the falsely accused thousands who died in Arctic mines and labor...
...Gordeyev Family (Artkino), a Russian export amplified from a novel (Foma Gordeyev) by Maxim Gorky, is a visual experience that roars across the screen with the rage and razmakh of a flash fire on the steppes. Unfortunately it is also a piece of Marxist propaganda that suggests Premier Khrushchev might profitably send some of his moviemakers to Siberia-to stimulate corn production...
