...Machinist was supposed to get maximum uplift just by doing her bit for the Five-Year Plan. Her unharnessed figure, unrouged cheeks and unwaved hair were the model for Soviet womanhood. Feminine adornments were considered decadent. But under Nikita Khrushchev's rule, glamour has become one of the Marxist virtues; the party line has caught up with the hemline. At a Moscow fashion show this summer, 9,000 people a day enviously ogled the sleek styles that so far only the mannequins were wearing. The counters of GUM, Moscow's government department store, blossomed with gaudily colored brassieres...
...China Hands and the last U.S. ambassador on the mainland (1946-53), a spare, scholarly Presbyterian missionary who in 1919 founded China's No. 1 Christian university, American-endowed Yenching, and saw this center of Western learning in the Orient survive Japanese occupation only to become a Marxist-Leninist thought factory; in Washington, D.C. Chosen as ambassador by President Truman's special envoy, General George Marshall, Stuart vainly attempted to bring about a peaceful settlement between China's warring Communists and Nationalists, aptly remarked before the Reds finally shut the open door in 1949, "The trouble...
...were killed by the French, others by internal strife." ∙ In 1960 Boumedienne was given the task of "forming a national army" in the security of training camps in Morocco and Tunisia.

Thus the army...

In opposition are the 20.000 troops of Wilaya 4, which consists of Algiers and the surrounding countryside, and is commanded by a 28-year-old former medical student, Colonel Si Hassan, who has the same Marxist views as his archfoe, Boumedienne. The 10,000 seasoned guerrilla fighters of Wilaya j, covering the rugged mountains of Kaby-lia, also oppose Ben Bella and have promised to come to Si Hassan's aid if the Politburo and Colonel Boumedienne try to seize Algiers...
Though the Wall itself ends in the U.S. sector, at East Germany's Schonefeld airport, watchtowers and barbed-wire barriers also seal the city's 65-mile western border with the Soviet zone. And that does not count the 830-mile Marxist Maginot line that seals East Germany's western frontier from the Baltic to Czechoslovakia. This is what Walter Ulbricht cynically calls the Democratic Anti-Fascist Protection Wall; already it boasts 500 watchtowers, 1,000 fortified bunkers, 93 miles of minefields, and throughout its length, the wide, plowed strips of earth where a footprint...
