...concentration camp, and whose father, a general, was executed during Stalin's purges of the Red army, and Leonid Petrovsky, whose grandfather was once chairman of the region of the Ukraine. Both Yakir and Petrovsky have lost jobs as historians; Grigorenko has not worked since his ouster from the army in 1964. Excerpts from their petition...
Following Khrushchev's ouster, the democratization process was gradually replaced by the restoration of Stalinist methods. Mention must be made of the illegal arrests and illegal sentencings, the absence of publicity and the partiality of the courts, the numerous violations of procedural norms, the wiretapping and the examination of letters. Citizens who dare to voice criticism of any government decree whatsoever are subjected to persecution and are illegally fired from their jobs.

Being able to hold the summit meeting at all represents a victory of sorts for the Russians. From 1962 onward, Nikita Khrushchev tried to convene a world conference to deal with the Chinese.

...Court. While younger Navajos staged a revolt, picketing the council and poking fun at Annie Wauneka, Mitchell's office backed up its embattled attorney and went to court to fight the ouster order. Ten dissident Indians joined the suit, and the tribal council was left in an untenable position no matter who won. Since 1924, when Congress decided that American Indians are U.S. citizens, Navajos and other Indians have been both tribal citizens and Americans. Now their rights as members of each group had been thrust into conflict. To oust Mitchell would leave legal aid agencies powerless to help...
