...Zachariades' most slavish service to Stalin occurred in the period following Tito's defection in 1948. A big wheel in the vast Cominform propaganda machine, Zachariades spewed abuse on Tito, accused him of bringing about the defeat of the Greek partisans. Gimlet-eyed Tito (also a Moscow alumnus) did not forget. Last year, when Khrushchev and Bulganin came to eat crow at Tito's table, one of the first remarks made by Tito was: "Zachariades has got to go." Said Bulganin: "Don't worry. Time will take care of things." Last week time caught up with...
...trend . . . I, for one, am highly impatient with the reactionary thinking of some union leaders . . . who are generally wedded to the mean and miserly concept of a mature economy that's going nowhere-in short, the advocates of guaranteed annual stagnation. I am just as impatient with the slavish and stereotyped thinking which has led some businessmen to consider 'security' a bad word, and to brand all concern for human and social progress as Communism or 'creeping socialism...
Unwound in Technicolor flashbacks from the graveside of the heroine (Ava Gardner), the story has a few startlingly good lines and situations-and several embarrassingly bad ones. Ava is a slum-bred flamenco dancer in Madrid when a tyrannical millionaire turned moviemaker (Warren Stevens) shows up with his slavish pressagent (Edmond O'Brien) to look and maybe to buy.

Delegates listened dutifully to onrushes of grey gobbledygook, in which the only interesting point was the renewed slavish dedication to Moscow. From Mao: "The people of our country should learn from Soviet Russia and be prepared [through] several five-year plans to build our country." From Moscow-trained theoretician Liu (who rivals Chou for the No. 2 spot): "We are still facing a real danger of a reactionary...
...rainy street in Manhattan. Tough, fiery little Vito fought his way up from East Side poverty, hung on to the fluttering coattails of Fiorello La Guardia, succeeded him in Congress in 1934 on a Republican-City Fusion ticket. In his district, Vito was an indefatigable favordoer; in Washington, a slavish follower of the Communist Party line. Finally beaten by a 1950 Democratic-Republican-Liberal coalition, he still remained powerful and popular in his district, drew 20,000 mourners to his bier. His funeral was conducted by a Methodist minister, because the Roman Catholic Church refused him burial on the ground...
