...just whipped Soviet Decathlon Hero Vasily Kuznetsov, but the husky U.S. Negro got a brotherly buss from the loser and a tremendous roar of approval from the 30,000 fans, as he mounted the winner's platform in Moscow's Lenin Stadium and smilingly held a bouquet of flowers aloft in triumph. Rafer Lewis Johnson, 22, of Kingsburg, Calif, had treated appreciative Muscovites to one of the greatest individual performances in track and field history. He had amassed a world-record 8,302 points in the rugged decathlon*—:considered by many the toughest test of human endurance...
...athletes got off to a fast start in the big dual meet with the Soviet Union in Moscow's Lenin Stadium, took an early 42-24 lead as the Russians piled up enough points in the women's events to stay close. U.S. Hammer Thrower Harold Connolly upset Russia's world's-record holder, Mikhail Krivonosov, with a heave of 220 ft. 8.88 in. Other U.S. winners: Ira Murchison (100-meter dash), Glenn Davis (400-meter run), Parry O'Brien (shotput), Ernie Shelby (broad jump), Barbara Jones in the women's 100-meter dash...
Wiser in the world's ways than when he tramped through Lenin land as a boy reporter (for I.N.S.) in 1926, peripatetic Democrat Adlai Stevenson arrived in the Soviet north for a four-week tour.

It is important for the peace of the world that we understand each other." Besides rubbernecking in the tundra, Stevenson will hack away at a thorny issue: royalties for U.S. authors...
...dachi in the country to favored bureaucrats, artists and scientists, they let themselves in for some bad capitalist habits. Owners of the summer cottages have made a good thing of renting them for a few weeks or a few weekends. Since every Communist schoolboy knows that Marx and Lenin eliminated landlords as well as all other bloodsucking capitalists, this could not go on. Last week the city fathers of Leningrad decreed that anyone caught renting out his dacha would have his city quarters confiscated...
Declaring that "crisis, unemployment and disunity" are "discrediting" the "imperialist world," Liu described with confidence and sober optimism the prospects for Communist China and the Soviet bloc. With repeated quotations from Marx, Lenin and Mao Tse-tung (who was among the 1,000-odd delegates present), Liu urged increased production to surpass Britain in 15 years. His new slogan: "Hard work for a few years; happiness for a thousand." He predicted more than 7,100,000 tons of steel production this year, against 2,200,000 tons only four years ago. But in the fine print...
