Reluctantly, the girl came forward and got soundly kissed. Khrushchev thanked her for "upholding Russian honor," and with that he left the party, an hour behind schedule and apparently without a care in the world...

They were the Grenzgänger, the border-hopping escapees from East Germany who flee to the West by the hundreds each week, making a mockery of Communist claims of providing a better life, and sapping the strength of their limping, labor-short country.

Khrushchev's flirtation with Arab nationalism seemed to have come to nothing but a costly flop, and he was under pressure from the Red Chinese, who condemned aid to Nasser as an "opportunistic error...
