...When Rand Corp. Expert Leon Goure reported last year that the Russians are quietly engaged in a massive civil defense effort (TIME, Nov. 10), many Westerners in Moscow scoffed. Soviet officials ridiculed the fitful U.S. shelter program as a waste of time and money. Shelters, said Soviet Defense Minister Rodion Y. Malinovsky, are "nothing but previously prepared tombs...
...forgiven. An armed guard barred his way. Voroshilov made a second attempt to join his old comrades through a side door of the Mausoleum and was ejected by a plainclothesman.

Stage Thunder. It was in keeping, too, that last week's display began with a tough-toned warning by Marshal Rodion Malinovsky, the Defense Minister who accompanied Khrushchev to the summit. Malinovsky had issued a new order to Soviet rocket forces: if any foreign plane flies across the border of Russia or any other Communist country, strike at the base the plane flew from. "We do not trust the imperialists!" he cried in a speech at the Kremlin. "We are convinced that they are only waiting for an opportunity to attack...
