From Jeremy Wolfenden, London Daily Telegraph correspondent in Moscow, came word that "Russian sources decisively reject the idea that Mr. Khrushchev will retire either from the premiership or the secretaryship of the party."

...native clothes or simply uttering a few words in our exotic accents, my wife Sylvia and I can move out from the ranks of American Negroes. But there's more to it than that.
