Every hope for continued progress, however, runs smack into the hard fact of Cuba. Nikita Khrushchev's thrust into that island turned Fidel Castro from a hero to a puppet in much of Latin America. When Kennedy forced Khrushchev to retrieve his long-range missiles and bombers, respect for the U.S. soared. Yet much of that has been dissipated by the realization that Cuba's potential for troublemaking in the hemisphere is still growing. That threat alone meant that there would be much worth talking about at the Presidents' meeting...
...made his tactical point by accepting Moscow's call for bilateral negotiations over the Sino-Soviet rift and inviting Nikita Khrushchev to Peking. "The Communist movement has reached a critical juncture. The time has come when differences have to be settled." declared the Red Chinese, proposing that Russia's Premier stop off in Peking on the way to Cambodia, where a state visit by Khrushchev has been discussed for some time.

After Stalin's 70th birthday in 1949, it took Pravda 22 months to print all the names of his well-wishers.

The fall guy for 1962 naturally was Pysin; this year it could very well be Volovchenko. As the new Agriculture Minister must be painfully aware, he is the fourth man to occupy the perilous post in three...
...Osservatore Romano front-paged a theoretical article, written by Msgr. Cardinale, on the general necessity of consular relationships between sovereign states. Asked at a Rome press conference about exchanging consuls with the Vatican, Adzhubei certified that it was "a good idea." Another reporter wondered if Father-in-Law Nikita, who may visit Rome later in the year, would also call on the Pope. Atheist Adzhubei, who earlier had noted that "the Pope does not bite,'' shrugged, and quoted in answer the 15th century Christian mystic Thomas â Kempis: "Man proposes, but God disposes...
