...most passionate outbursts, because they came from those who still wanted to believe in a U.S.S.R. change of heart, occurred among the neutralist powers and Europe's left-wing fringe. Avanti, organ of Pietro Nenni's red-tinged Italian Socialist Party, proclaimed that the executions "bring us back in full bloom" to the era of Stalinism. Burma's Premier U Nu called them "a horrible act." The Indonesian Socialist daily Pedoman drew a local moral: "We cannot fool around with the idea of cooperation with the Reds." In India, where Nehru's equivocation blunted the impact...
...Tory Party capitalizing on the cry of time for a change. The victory carried on the political upheaval touched off across Canada by the magnetic, evangelistic personality of Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, the Tory national leader. The returns in Manitoba gave the Tories 26 seats, the Liberals 19, the socialist CCF II. Though the CCF thus got the balance of power, the premier will probably be Tory Dufferin Roblin, 41, the spellbinding bachelor politician who energetically masterminded his party's victory. Across the land the long-dominant Liberals were left with control of only two small island provinces...

At a barked command comes the sound of marching feet and in tramp flag-bearing comrades (male and female) from the parachute group of the paramilitary "Association for Sports and Technology." The orchestra strikes up a Beethoven minuet, and through the lane of parachutists come the bride...

Presumably, the "socialist realism" of Shostakovich's, Khachaturian's and Prokofiev's more recent works also helped clear the composers' names. But for the younger generation of Soviet composers, nothing had changed. In a burst of gratitude to the party, Shostakovich, 51, and Khachaturian, 55, promptly approved a decree criticizing "unhealthy trends" in recent musical works. To disassociate himself from the dangerous moderns, third-rate Composer Vano Muradeli, 50, chimed in with...
