...weeks ago, at an Albanian banquet in the Kremlin, Nikita Khrushchev made it plain that he wants Hoxha to fire off no more blasts at Tito. This was Khrushchev's way of indicating that he was prepared to resume the friendship with Tito that was interrupted by the revolt in Hungary...
Before a gathering of Soviet agricultural workers and farm experts in Leningrad last week, Nikita Khrushchev, the busy boss of all the Russias, admitted that he could not do everything at once. "Even Chekhov's hero," said Nikita, "unscrewed only one nut before he started on another."

Among those presumably to be abolished was the ministry of Khrushchev's predecessor and rival, the Ministry of Electric Power Stations, run by Georgy Malenkov, who set up and top-managed the Soviet industrial might in World War II and presumably speaks for the technocrat class...
