...nice to know that Hussein feels "Israel is probably there to stay." It would probably be appropriate if the boy king would search his memory to recount the many times Israel has offered the Arabs compensation in exchange for a peace pact. To accept refugees in Israel at this stage of the game would be as unrealistic as our country's granting entry to 900,000, or even 960 Communists. As for rectifying "unrealistic borders," Israel has urged that-not in 1956, but in 1949 and on and on and on. Lip service by Arab leaders...
Communist leaders at the 20th Party Congress had already heard First Party Secretary Nikita Khrushchev bluntly charge that Stalin "murdered" Marshal Mikhail Tukhachevsky and some 5,000 other Red army officers in 1937 (TIME. March 26). Khrushchev implied that the Stalin-Hitler pact of 1939 was a desperate effort by Stalin to escape the consequences of this action.

He also made it clear that the shelving of the I.L.A. loan did not mean that tough, power-hungry Jimmy Hoffa would be forced to abandon his idea of a "mutual aid pact"-committing the Teamsters and the discredited Longshoremen to joint organizational drives and joint pressure on employers...
...Khrushchev-Molotov-Bulganin line might do for the inner Kremlin gang. But it was not so easy for Communist leaders outside Russia to explain their own participation in the great deceit. The debunking of Stalin hit world Communists with a deeper shock than anything since Stalin's 1939 pact with Hitler. In what may be the first of many satellite reverberations, the boss of Hungary's Communist Party has admitted that his regime sent five top Reds wrongly to death in 1949 (see below...
