...sole ruler of the Soviet Union. You should interview the entire group involved in our collective leadership." So wrote Nikita Khrushchev last week to Cairo's government-supported newspaper Al Messa.

One of his daughters is an actress whose sole ambition is to play before the Czar; instead she sees his back in a railway station as he is about to make his exit from history. Another Arapov is a captain in a crack cavalry regiment, and one aspect of Russia's tragedy is seen in the inner conflict...
