...general circulation in the Communist world after World War II was chopped off with the suddenness of ax strokes. As the Kremlin seized con trol of one country after another, our circulation department went through the motions of informing readers in those countries that we were canceling their subscriptions unless otherwise notified. We were rarely notified. Early in 1949, when the Communists consolidated their hold on the Chinese main land, our Hong Kong bureau cabled an urgent warning to stop sending TIME to some 1,450 Chinese subscribers. "Cut them off, or they'll have something else...
When the men in the Kremlin brought the gigantic Stalin-idol crashing down last month, many Western observers immediately looked to Red China as the place where the demise of "Big Brother" might have its most subversive effect. To date, however, there is scant evidence that "Little Brother" Mao Tse-tung has suffered at all from his sudden relegation to the status of an only child.

The outside world can only guess at what conflict of motives inside the Kremlin drives its leaders to a reckless unraveling of the past, but does know that it is a dangerous game-the kind that usually calls for victims...
...last week the new party line had at least partial approval from the greatest Soviet realist of them all, Stalin's favorite portrait painter and president of the Soviet Academy of Art, Alexander M. Gerasimov, 74, whose heroic, mural-sized painting of Stalin and Marshal Voroshilov on the Kremlin ramparts recently disappeared from the Tretyakov State Art Museum. In a signed three-column article in Sovyetskaya Kultura, Gerasimov publicly confessed some errors of the bad old days: "The cult of the individual has done considerable harm . . . Recollecting certain of my works of the past years I must admit that...
