...seen, and Yugoslavia's Marshal Josip Broz Tito, suffering from a case of lumbago aggravated by the ticklishness of his international position, stayed at home in Belgrade. But to show how civilized the Soviet state has become, the audience even included three discredited Khrushchev foes-Georgy Malenkov, Dmitry Shepilov and Lazar Kaganovich (who, when asked about his present work, replied: "That would be very difficult to explain just now").
