...latter part of November. (French diplomatic sources spotted it at the resort of Galyateto, in the Matra mountains.) "Titoism" was spreading. One of the most exciting rumors current in Europe was that there might soon be a major addition to the list of dissidents: Rumania's Amazonian Ana Pauker, announced the Rome radio, was not at the meeting and was reported to be in difficulties with Moscow...
...grandiose Hôtel Bulgarie, and armored cars toured the streets below. In the hotel's plush lobbies and corridors, swarthy Albanian colonels conferred importantly with bemedaled Czech generals; Polish officials huddled with thoughtful Hungarians. Vulko Chervenkov, new boss of Bulgaria, walked side by side with Ana Pauker, Stalin's Amazon satrap for Rumania. Over all watched the steady eyes of the Russians sent for the occasion from Moscow.

...many working-class women should learn about the poor quality of Leino's lovemaking; that kind of talk could be bad for the party. Leino began to go into an eclipse anyway; he lost his job as Interior Minister, while Hertta kept getting more important -next to Ana Pauker she was probably the leading woman Communist in Europe. By last week, after Leino had openly criticized Russia and suggested that the Communists use less violent tactics, Hertta had had enough. She picked up bag & baggage and moved out of his apartment to go and live with her mother...
