...such luxuries are available to the average North Vietnamese. Hanoi, once a comfortable colonial city, has fallen victim to the Marxist-Leninist muteness typical of Communist capitals. Its streets are virtually empty of automobiles. Instead fleets of bicycles hiss through town, pedaled silently by a silent people. "You hear the shuffle of feet," says a recent visitor, "but no squabbling of merchants, no squeals, no laughter. They don't even seem to talk to one another. You can hear the birds singing in downtown Hanoi at midday. It is strangely saddening...
...high boots and belted black tunic. Gorky's wildly onomatopoeic Song of the Stormy Petrel became the battle anthem of the revolution, and soon he was hip deep in politics: setting up capitalist pigeons for Lenin to pluck, polemicizing both for and against the Bolsheviks. During the Leninist purges following the October Revolution, Gorky used his special relationship with Lenin to save many writers' lives. Finally breaking with the Bolsheviks, he exiled himself in Sorrento. There, in a drafty villa with a fine view of Vesuvius, he swilled coffee-and-raw-eggs and completed his best work...
...rival factions in Kenya's one-party government, President Jomo Kenyatta for months let pro-Communist Vice President Oginga Odinga have his way more often than seemed wise. For one thing, Moscow had financed the Lumumba Institute seven miles outside Nairobi, providing two Russian instructors in the Leninist art of political action.

Odinga meanwhile hustled around making anti-Western speeches, and verbally sniping at the more moderate members of Kenyatta's Cabinet...
...time they got back down to Moscow on Oct. 19, Khrushchev had been deposed in a sudden Kremlin coup. Last week Russia's latest space men (see cover story in SCIENCE) seemed to be taking no chances: their astral greeting was addressed to "the Leninist Central Committee of the Communist Party and the Soviet government." They could have been bolder, for after they fell from orbit, the government was still in the hands of Khrushchev's colorless successors, Premier Aleksei Kosygin and First Party Secretary Leonid Brezhnev...
...game by which man distracts himself." And Kitaj provides enough puns and anagrams for a month of Sundays. His paintings are a kind of litterbug's playground, scattered with the paperwork of mass communications. There are doodles drawn from Erasmus' notebooks, titles that refer to obscure Marxist-Leninist deviationists. In one corner of his An Early Europe is pasted the source photograph of neoclassical nudes that inspired the painting's composition. He will borrow an economist's catch phrase, The Production of Waste, to title a 1963 oil showing a trio of allegorical figures chopped up like news photos...
