...twelve minutes last week, Nikita Khrushchev was out of a job. As required by Soviet law, he solemnly tendered his resignation at the first meeting of the new Supreme Soviet-Russia's rubber-stamp Parliament, which was "chosen" last month by 99.47% of all adult Russians who voted for the 1,443 candidates of the Communist Party's choice. Then, in hardly more time than it took one of Nikita's pals to remind delegates of his "thoughtful and many-sided works," Khrushchev was unanimously re-elected to his second four-year term as Chairman...

Yet his paper utopia seemed impossibly remote to most Russians. As a thundering anticlimax, Khrushchev in March unveiled his new blueprint for agriculture, leaving no doubt that the inertia and inefficiency of Russia's farm system will not be overcome in Khrushchev's lifetime, if ever...
