Through the Kremlin's massive Spassky Gate one day last week hurried Democrat Adlai Stevenson, headed for the office of Russia's Premier Nikita Khrushchev. After a brief chitchat warmup, Khrushchev surged into familiar accusations of U.S. "imperialism," possibly thinking that a twice-defeated presidential candidate of the U.S. out-party might agree with him.

...latest count, Egypt had some 400 teacher-agitators in Kuwait, 1,000 in Saudi Arabia, 400 in Libya and 100 in Syria. Iraq's Premier Nuri asSaid, killed in the July 14 revolt, had thrown Egyptian teachers out of his country, but last week, after the revolution, Cairo announced that a new detachment of 300 would be sent to help out the now friendly Iraq government. For Egypt, which has more teachers than it can use (the University of Cairo turns out huge classes of B.A.s each year, and there are too few schools to provide posts...
