...Goodbye-good luck-friends," said Nikita Sergeevich Khrushchev in fresh-minted English this week as he peered out of TV screens on his last day in the U.S. Typically, he had just turned in a doctrinaire defense of Communism as "the ' most humane and truly just system," and attacked U.S.-style capitalism as immoral because, so he said, the few become rich by the labors of the many, "counter to men's conscience." But Nikita Khrushchev's farewell address, like his farewell press conference and his approach to the U.S. in the final days, was free...
...Jimmie Driftwood takes up his guitar and plunks them out with the ease of a molting rattler shucking its skin. His most recent inspiration came to him via a radio newscast while he was touring the Ozarks in his air-conditioned Buick one hot day this summer.

(pop. 208 million) its broadest measure of liberty and prosperity since the Bolshevik Revolution. Khrushchev's intentions in the U.S. are just as enigmatic. Is he seeking a genuine thaw in the cold war that might lead to forms of peace? Is he seeking an American acceptance of the status quo of Communist conquests, a softening-up of American will? Is he trying...
...Marxism and what is not . . . We do not need any certificates on our Marxism-Leninism." Only the Pole joined in the applause. And Yugoslav trade union boss General Svetozar Vukmanovic-Tempo minced no words when asked who was interfering in Yugoslav affairs. "Who?" demanded General Vukmanovic-Tempo. "Khrushchev-Nikita Sergeevich-that...
