After a suitable period, Molotov will confess to having been in the pay of the German General Staff since he negotiated the non-aggression pact of 1939. He will admit having suggested the Marshall Plan and NATO to Western diplomats. The Chicago Tribune will comment on the fakery of the purge, right above an editorial in which Truman and Acheson are blamed for China's loss. Radcliffe's "Drumbeats and Song" will turn...
