...vision was one of the holiest in the Soviet liturgical calendar: the Nov. 7 military parade commemorating the triumph of the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution. Before the march-past began, virtually all eyes in Red Square's diplomatic enclosure were turned to the dark red, 35-ft.-high Lenin Mausoleum. There, the aging leadership of the Kremlin, dressed in look-alike dark gray overcoats and fedoras, shuffled slowly into line to review the parade. The face that every spectator sought was that of President and Communist Party General Secretary Yuri Andropov, 69, whose absence at a celebration two days earlier...
...Paul (1960), the Buddha (1964) and Martin Luther in 1967 and again last month in international editions. (Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary are our most frequent historical cover figures, but they have not been specifically the subjects of the accompanying stories.) Karl Marx was reassessed in 1948, Vladimir Lenin in 1964 and their ideological opposites Adam Smith, in 1975, and John Maynard Keynes, in 1965.

...Shaoqi, named by Mao as President of China, was later dismissed and died in solitary confinement in 1969. Both were posthumously restored to honor in 1981 when they were officially recorded as having been "persecuted to death." They had been brothers in the faith of Mao-Marx-Lenin. But history held truths that overrode Marxism-Leninism as, for example, that suffering is a bond, but power is a drug. And once power was in their hands, the drug addled their minds and together they brought China to the threshold of ruin...
...Xiaoping, Communist Party Vice Chairman of the People's Republic of China, who was making a brief U.S. tour, was introduced to Armand Hammer, 85, chairman of Occidental Petroleum. Brushing aside the interpreter, Deng said, "No introduction is necessary. We know Dr. Hammer as the American who helped Lenin. Why don't you come .to China and help us as well?" Hammer, whose close trade ties with the Soviet Union stretch back for more than half a century, said that he would be happy to deal with the Chinese. He pointed out, however, that his age forced...
