...failure came a compulsive Communist need to label it a success. Red newspapers carried banner headlines crying, LONG LIVE THE GREAT LEAP FORWARD- and LONG LIVE THE PEOPLE'S COMMUNES! In city after Chinese city last week, party workers were ordered into the street to beat drums and lead parades "celebrating" what were really ghastly failures. Most ominous of all were the blistering attacks on "rightist opportunists," i.e., Communist officials who had protested that the scheduled leap forward was too far and too fast. Such opportunists, said the party, "are singing the same tune as the internal and external...
Kazakhstan (pop. 9,300,000), almost as big as all of Western Europe, is second only to the Ukraine as the breadbasket of the nation. It is Russia's top lead and zinc producer, the second-largest source of copper. Its capital, Alma-Ata (Father of Apples), where Leon Trotsky was exiled in 1927, is full of bleak new Soviet-style construction. A more recent exile from Moscow, ex-Premier Georgi Malenkov, now runs a hydroelectric power station at Ust-Kamenogorsk. Uzbekistan (pop. 8,113,000), with new irrigation projects, gives Russia two-thirds of its cotton. Its capital...

But the polls had Nixon far ahead and increasing his lead (TIME, Aug. 24). Rockefeller called an Albany news conference, said of his statement about relying on the polls:*"I should like to state that I have never made such a statement." His decision, he said, would be based upon his weighing of his own ability to render public service...
With his head start, Masami had a long lead. But suddenly he whipped about and started churning for shore, crying: "Same da! Nigero!" (It's a shark! Run!) Closer to the shelf, his three brothers quickly made it back to safety and stood up to watch Masami's progress. Some ten yards behind him, but rapidly closing the gap, a glistening black triangle cut through the waves. Moments later Masami's brothers screamed with horror when the dorsal fin slipped from sight; the shark had dived to attack from below. Warned by their cries, Masami abruptly flailed...
