...entirely new vocabulary. Tracatrán, a new coinage onomatopoetically suggesting machinelike response, refers to a person who carries out orders implacably; parquear la tinosa means "to park the buzzard," or pass the buck; saram-pionado, or "measled," describes someone who shows a rash of too much Marxist-Leninist theory...
...frequency-and often taking action to match the denunciations-that the Sino-Soviet rift has become a fact of history far more firmly established than the Sino-Soviet bloc ever was. Last week, for example, a meeting of Soviet trade unions branded Mao Tse-tung as "chauvinist, nationalist, anti-Leninist, anti-working class and anti-people."

In discussing the February revolution, for example, after giving two pages of "the bare facts," Ulam asks, "What did really happen?" He then summarizes the liberal, non-Bolshevik Socialist, monarchist, Trotskyite, and Leninist positions before adding his own interpretation. Equally impressive are his analyses of Lenin as the ruler of a state. Here he gives a very reasonable explanation of Lenin's reasons for introducing the New Economic Policy. When he writes about the Comintern, Ulam not only manages to convey a great deal...
