...Communist lexicon, Nikita Khrushchev is clearly the apostle and chief promoter of peaceful coexistence and the calculated thaw. On the 90th anniversary of Lenin's birth last week, when "the Lenin of today" was off vacationing on the Black Sea coast, the official mouthpiece was Finnish-born Presidium Member Otto Kuusinen, 78, the hardbitten old Bolshevik who was one of Lenin's commissars in the revolution's early days. Kuusinen told an audience of some 20,000 at Moscow's Lenin Central Stadium that "war would be insane" with mankind's new destructive weapons...
...bouncy self. He stopped off to tell the Chamber of Commerce how eager he was to have dealings with France's biggest capitalists, if only he had more to buy with. "We have a little gold," he added, "but we keep it. I don't know why. Lenin said, 'A day will come when they will pave floors of public toilets with gold.'

...join the party, but was made president of Red China's biggest university. He boned up on Russian, added a bit of Lenin to make "my new system of thinking," and began publishing treatises on population and agriculture. For boldly arguing that agricultural output should be boosted before tackling industrialization, Ma came under heavy orthodox attack, only to be handsomely vindicated when Mao Tse-tung himself ordered the economic revolution of the communes 18 months ago. Now he complains that the critics dragged out against him are "new names" unworthy of his stature, and adds defiantly: "I will never...
