This year's Hasty Pudding show is a mass of incongruities: the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, thinly disguised, hob-nob with a Marxist chambermaid; an Irish plumber appears in the midst of the expatriate rich on the isle of Elba; a sexy French singer takes a copy of Dr. Zhivago into the shower with her. Yet somehow all these strained touches combine to make an evening...
...while, Paris forgot its former misgivings about Toure and beamed with satisfaction at the progress that the little country of rivers, steamy swamps, rocky hills and dry savannahs seemed to be making under its Marxist leader.

It was an occasion to bring back memories of the first Congress of Victors-the 17th, in 1934, when the party sang the praises of Secretary-General Stalin (who had similarly licked but not yet liquidated his rivals), and when young Moscow Party Secretary Nikita Khrushchev first won election to the party's holy of holies, the Central Committee...
