It would explain the recent reversal of the Khrushchev line, the rewarming of Stalinist slogans for the benefit of Old Guard Communists such as Molotov, and the coolness towards Tito. It would also account for Khrushchev's belated dash down to Budapest (in the pattern...

Only ex-Premier Pierre Mendés-France asked whether "those who organized and ordered the action made any attempt to calculate the consequences in advance. I have never considered these men spokesmen for Algeria, but I am afraid they are going...
Nobody outside the innermost palace councils knows exactly what Queen Juliana of The Netherlands told the three eminent statesmen whom she herself had drafted to help mend the rift in the royal family. But the worries of Netherlanders were set at rest at least momentarily last August, when they read reports issuing from the National News Agency that the Queen had "promised' to do all in her own power to reach a reconciliation with her husband (TIME, Sept. 3).
