...manpower into that nation. He is worried about Berlin, but realizes that the troublemaking initiative there is held by the Communists, and he is determined that the West must maintain its basic rights. He is unwilling to go to the Summit just for propaganda purposes or to size up Nikita Khrushchev ("He was pretty well cased at Vienna"); but he is willing to talk to Khrushchev if the cold war seems on the brink of nuclear conflict or if there seems a substantive chance for progress in easing some basic issues...
Westward Neutral. And yet, seven years of hard fighting and difficult diplomatic maneuvering have made relatively sophisticated men of the F.L.N. political leaders. They know that the Soviet Union's longtime reluctance to recognize their government stemmed from Nikita Khrushchev's fear of offending De Gaulle, whom he hoped to use to split the NATO alliance. They are aware that Red Chinese aid was given more to embarrass the West than to help the F.L.N. Even fiery anticolonialist Dr. Frantz Fanon said contemptuously: "If the Communist powers really cared, they would have made a major effort to help...
...great marble hall where he once bragged of beating U.S. meat and milk output, Nikita Khrushchev last week told Soviet leaders what every Moscow housewife knows.

Russians are in no danger of starvation and in fact are better fed than in Stalin's day. But production of grain, sugar beets, vegetables and butter has remained level...
...last week even declared approvingly that Marxism-Leninism, like U.S. capitalism, will eventually lead to the "affluent" society.* Diehard Stalinists, notably China's leaders, deplore Khrushchev's emphasis on material comforts-in his own words, "presenting Communism as a table groaning with tasty dishes." But, reasoned Nikita Khrushchev, "the preaching of equality in the spirit of the early Christian communes, with their low standard of living, with their asceticism, is alien to scientific Communism. To invite people to such Communism is tantamount to slurping milk with an awl. Communism must not be regarded as a table set with...
...food shortage would be catastrophic. Though their holdings amount to less than 4% of all arable land, individual peasants own 50% of all cows, 25% of the hogs, produce 65% of the potatoes and cabbage that are Russia's basic foods. European economists speculated last week that Nikita Khrushchev could still solve the farm problem in a single stroke. The solution: a threefold increase in the peasants' private plots...
