...Washington, D.C.,” I told him.“Ohhhh,” he replied, stretching the word to four distinct syllables, “the city that re-elected Marion Barry!”***It’s sad, but it’s true: Marion Shepilov Barry Jr. really is an iconic Washingtonian. Presidents and senators come and go, but Barry is in the District to stay.Back in 1990, while mayor, Barry found himself in Washington’s Vista Hotel smoking crack cocaine with a female friend. As he soon learned, the room was under...
...reminisced: "In Stalin's time we had real order. There were none of these rhetorical flourishes and vacillations." Moscow was rife with gossip about intrigues. A clique in the Presidium (Khrushchev's name for the Politburo), labeled the "anti-party group" and including Foreign Minister Dmitri Shepilov, nearly engineered a palace coup against Khrushchev.

But the rest of the world was likely...
Moscow's minutes, which sold out within hours, showed that after Bulganin admitted "joining" the "antiparty activities of Malenkov, Molotov, Kaganovich and Shepilov," speaker after speaker rose-obviously in a coordinated assault-to assail his confession as "feeble" and "unconvincing." Said Agriculture Minister Vladimir Matskevich, a longtime Khrushchev henchman from the Ukraine: "Bulganin now pretends that he only joined the group at the last minute. This is not true. If Bulganin has in fact repented, then he must disarm himself completely and tell honestly about his subversive work and about the roots that have remained...
