...movement which is surely destined to bring the old colonial countries into the Communist orbit" Lippmann got the impression that to Khrushchev "it is normal for a great power to undermine an unfriendly government within its own sphere of interest " deduced from this that "Khrushchev thinks much more like Richelieu and Metternich than like Woodrow Wilson...

After studying anatomy in a Paris hospital, he set out for Rome, where he filled notebook after notebook with sketches of ancient ruins and nearly starved to death. Once, when the Vatican was at odds with Cardinal Richelieu, papal troops tried to beat the Frenchman up. He caught syphilis, and partly to avoid further temptation, married the daughter of the pastry cook who nursed him back to health. The disease left its mark-trembling hands and eventual paralysis-but at 45 Poussin was at last being hailed...
