With a roll of the Soviet propaganda drums Moscow announced last week that Nikita Khrushchev will go to New York to head the Soviet delegation at the United Nations General Assembly session beginning Sept. 20. Khrushchev's second American invasion would hardly be like the first one. He was coming, not at U.S. invitation as he did last year, but visiting by right the 18 acres of U.N. territory on the East River, which is international no man's land. He could hardly hope for an American welcome or even, this time, friendly curiosity. But he seemed intent...
...urged the French to continue to fight. On Formosa he implied our support of an invasion of the mainland of China. In India he questioned Nehru's right to be neutral. In Venezuela his goodwill tour provoked a riot. And in the Soviet Union he argued with Mr. Khrushchev in the kitchen, pointing out that while we may be behind in space, we were ahead in color television. Mr. Nixon may be very experienced in kitchen debate, but so are a great many other married men I know...

But just in case the Kennedy camp was worried about Joe Curran's failure to qualify K.'s kiss-of-death remark, Curran hastened to say, a bit later...
...suggested that the departure of a few hundred technicians heralded a break between Russia and China comparable to that between Stalin's Russia and Tito's Yugoslavia in 1948. But last week, months after Nikita Khrushchev's first open split with Red China's leaders over basic Communist dogma, the battle was getting hotter-and the relationship colder-than ever. Moscow's Izvestia, scarcely veiling its Red Chinese target, railed against "leftists" and "phrase-mongers" who "assemble and sometimes distort quotations to repeat over and over again that imperialist wars are inevitable," adding that only...
