...army is known to have little enthusiasm for Khrushchev's policy of peaceful coexistence. Four days before his departure for Paris, Communist Party workers assigned to the Red army had assembled in Moscow for a conference at which one of the chief speakers was tousled-haired Marxist Theoretician Mikhail Suslov, who is always billed by Kremlinologists as the leader of the hard line in Russia's ruling Presidium. Marshal Malinovsky had been added to Khrushchev's list of traveling companions only three days before the Paris confrontation. Was he sent along to make sure that Nikita stuck...
Model of a Marxist. Malinovsky's nostalgic tone vanishes when he recalls what happened when news of Russia's 1917 revolution reached the Iron Division. "Our camp," he says, "was encircled by Allied troops. The French tried to pacify us with artillery fire." Finally, in 1919, the remnants of the Iron Division were shipped to Vladivostok, then in the hands of the White armies. Some foreign military men still cherish a suspicion that Corporal Malinovsky put in some time with the White forces before joining the Bolshevik armies in Siberia as a machine-gun instructor...
...West into concessions either by "peaceful coexistence" or even summitry-and had decided to leap ahead of his critics. For in Communism's harsh code, only results count. Peering over Khrushchev's shoulder is Red China's Mao Tse-tung, who challenges him as a Marxist theoretician and as leader of the "Socialist camp." Mao, who knows that it is not China that will get hit in a nuclear holocaust, has insistently been crying out against the folly of "softness" toward capitalism.

...Russian-born son of an itinerant teacher of Hebrew, Lerner was brought to the U.S. at five, grew up mainly in New Haven. After Yale ('23), he ricocheted into the academic world with a Ph.D. in economics. In the '30s he was a quasi-Marxist (teaching at Harvard, Sarah Lawrence, Williams) who viewed the U.S. as ripe for fascism. When the country survived, Lerner got a crush on it, three years ago produced a sweeping, vibrant, 1,036-page paean, America as a Civilization (Simon & Schuster; $10). Last fall the admiring Ford Foundation sent him for a year...
Atrocity Target. The closeness of the election may keep Ceylon from a long-desired civil peace, for both leading parties are a long way from the 76 seats needed to form a government. But voters had at least decisively rejected the chaos and frequent strikes of Marxist and left-wing government. Most effective campaigner was the United Nationalists' leader, Dudley Shelton Senanayake, 47, who may become prime minister. In 1952 he had briefly succeeded his famous father, Don Stephen Senanayake (Ceylon's first Prime Minister), who died after a fall from a horse. Then the son had gone...
