...massive outbreak of violence by nabbing ten Royal Knights allies who were waiting on a Bronx rooftop to ambush an oncoming invasion of the neighborhood by revenge-seeking Valiant Crowns. In the ambush arsenal: 20-gauge shotgun, .22-cal. rifle, two hunting knives, stacks of bricks, nine Molotov cocktails-gasoline-filled bottles with rag wicks, to be ignited just before the bombs were hurled. Wait Wanted. Against this grimly appropriate background, a U.S. Senate subcommittee, chaired by Missouri's Democratic Senator Thomas C. Hennings, started off an investigation of juvenile delinquency, with two days of hearings in Manhattan...
...loyalty to superiors brought him the nomination of Stalin's heirs, after Stalin's death, for the party's first secretaryship. Khrushchev's mastery of the party regional machinery enabled him to build the personal power that ousted Stalin's heirs: Georgy Malenkov, Vyacheslav Molotov, Lazar Kaganovich, even the Red army's authentic hero Marshal Zhukov.

It was in this capacity that Kozlov, skilled in the ways of Kremlinfighting, is reputed to have saved Khrushchev's neck by rallying the 130-man committee and, in so doing, helping Khrushchev to defeat the Malenkov-Molotov-Kaganovich wing of the party. That was in June 1957; that same month Kozlov was awarded full membership in the Presidium. Less than a year later, Khrushchev made him First Deputy Premier, ranking him with the crafty Armenian First Deputy Anastas Mikoyan. But Khrushchev has admitted to friendly diplomats that...
...Communist terms-was proved right. He annoys Soviet officials by telling them that Russians are not capable of understanding China, and displays the contempt of an old street agitator for the commanding generals of the Red Chinese army. A man unlovely and unloved, Liu Shao-chi resembles Stalin or Molotov more than any other top Chinese Communist...
