Welcome Assaults. The next day Barry drew another assault that might yet help him. In Warsaw to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Communism in Poland, Nikita Khrushchev said that Barry was trying "to enter the White House under the slogans of anti-Communism and belligerent threats...
...three minutes, speaking before the Supreme Soviet, Nikita Khrushchev decreed the removal of Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev from the presidency of the Soviet Union and won the automatic assent of the 1,443 "worker and peasant" delegates. For Brezhnev, 57, the step down was really a step up. More clearly than ever, Brezhnev (TIME Cover, Feb. 21) is now Khrushchev's heir apparent.

...Since Nikita Khrushchev put a chill on the "thaw" in Russian letters last year, Soviet artists and writers have slowly, gradually been working back toward the level of relatively free ex pression that reached its high point with Poet Evgeny Evtushenko's mass readings in Mayakovsky Square. Recently, however, intellectuals have once again felt the cold wind of literary conservatism. This time it blew not on a politically outspoken, widely published writer, but rather on one of Russia's many literary "abstainers" - ostensible amateurs whose works are circulated by hand, thus precluding their being drafted into the government...
