...night five years ago, in the Greek city of Salonica, a bomb exploded outside the house where Kemal Ataturk, father of modern Turkey, was born. The Turkish state radio boomed the news that Greeks had done it. Turkish tempers, already exacerbated by the long quarrel with Greece over Cyprus, flared into a night of shameful violence against the 100,000 Greeks living in Istanbul.

His quarrel with Khrushchev, dating back to 1958, was temporarily dissolved again in a succession of handshakes and a long confabulation behind the grillwork doors of the Soviet Union's Park Avenue mansion.* Old Partisan Fighter Tito was himself living in capitalist splendor on Fifth Avenue, and spent his free time strolling in Central Park or watching the night glitter of Manhattan from the Rainbow Room, 64 stories above Rockefeller Plaza...
