Under the watchful eye of Soviet "Observer" Ekaterina Furtseva, the only woman member of Russia's ruling Presidium, stoop-shouldered Palmiro Togliatti played it safe, confined himself to abstruse analyses of Marxist doctrine and repeated pledges of allegiance to the Kremlin. Only a few dissident notes were heard, most of them sounded by 41-year-old Antonio Giolitti, a grandson of Giovanni Giolitti, who was five times Premier of Italy under the Savoy monarchy. Said Antonio Giolitti: "In Poland and Hun gary the party has been best defended not by those who keep silent, but by those who openly...
...corrosively funny novel about business chicanery. Its unlikely author: a Communist with an irrepressible sense of humor. In Threepenny Novel, the late German Playwright and Novelist Bertolt Brecht takes the position that business is crime conducted in an aura of respectability. His book is somehow engaging despite this classic Marxist idea, because of its raffishly vital characters who make all the Cash McCalls in their grey flannel suits seem as sedate, proper and wooden as the paneling of their executive suites...
...sense, the prestige of the U.S. rose as that of its rivals fell. The myth of the Moscow mass man and Marxist benevolence lay buried in the rubble of Budapest, which Pope Pius XII called "the bloodstained proof of the ends to which atheist Marxism leads." The British and French, who had sought to make policy by reviving 19th century gunboat diplomacy, had temporarily lost their credentials for world statesmanship. But in another sense, the U.S. had earned the new regard by its own conduct. In time of crisis and threat of World War III, President Eisenhower had cast...
...Dean of Canterbury, Kremlin-loving Dr. Hewlett Johnson, 82, an anachronistic Marxist who still sees the same world that was decried in the Communist Manifesto of 1848, wended his way to Britain's University of Durham, to harangue some 350 students on his threadbare theme of "world peace through trust in the Soviet Union." He had barely begun babbling when seven students entered the hall, bore down the aisle a coffin draped in Hungary's national colors, solemnly rested it before his rostrum. Chirped the Red Dean nervously, as applause filled the building: "May wars cease." After finishing...
...this game Yugoslavia's Marshal Tito would be useful. He had made himself something of a hero by breaking loose from Moscow, had even won large-scale aid from the West, but he was still a Communist, and his Yugoslavia was still as monolithically Communist as any Marxist-Leninist could ask. He was the man to consult. He could give prestige to "nationalizing" the satellites, and provide a semblance of genuineness. He could help spot the right kind of leaders for the operation. If all went well, letting off a little anti-Russian steam might even encourage the satellite...
