...students at the National University of Mexico posted a mark that is likely to stand for years. In as terrifying a week as Mexico City has seen in years, they burned or destroyed 10 buses, worth $120,000. immobilized the national capital and its 4,500,000 inhabitants, lobbed Molotov cocktails as casually as softballs, and defied Mexico's federal government. What's more, they got away with...
Communists exercise decisive power in the daily press. Item: when known Communists were caught with a cache of Molotov cocktails near one of the points on Vice President Nixon's canceled tour of Caracas, every paper except the Roman Catholic La Religión kept the story out of print.

...living ghosts of his old comrades in Stalinism apparently still haunt Nikita Khrushchev-although Malenkov presumably runs a power station, Shepilov teaches school, Molotov tends diplomacy in the outer wastes of Mongolia, and Zhukov has reportedly retired from active military duty. Three weeks ago, in terms Communists recognized as portentous, Pravda published two front-page editorials warning that the party "cannot forget" the opposition of "Malenkov, Kaganovich, Molotov and Shepilov." At a Lenin birthday celebration, in Khrushchev's presence, Party Secretary Petr Pospelov attacked the fallen "antiparty group" by name for their "fierce resistance." Finally, Khrushchev himself joined vigorously...
