Some observers credit Mao with forcing Khrushchev into more belligerence than he considered wise in Cuba and Laos.

Buried deep in the heart of the huge Asian land mass, Outer Mongolia is a country of sweeping plains, lake-studded highlands, with an awkward location: it is set squarely between Communist China and the Soviet Union.

As his right-hand man he picked Scott Newhall, lively scion of another leading Bay family. Dipping into Hearst's own bag of tricks, Newhall...
...this year, when Nigeria, Senegal and the former French Sudan will have been admitted, the only sizable nations not belonging to the U.N. will be Switzerland (out of devotion to utter neutrality), Red China, Outer Mongolia and the cold-war twins: East and West Germany, North and South Korea, North and South Viet...
