Pavel Satyukov, editor of Pravda (circ. 5,500,000), is an unknown who puts out perhaps the dullest newspaper in the world. Izvestia (circ. 1,800,000) Editor Aleksei Adzhubei, 35, is very well known indeed, partly because he is Khrushchev's son-in-law. But though Adzhubei might have been helped by the family connection, his ability is not disputed; as editor of Komsomolskaya Pravda (party youth organ) from 1957 to 1959, he cut down on party propaganda, racked up a notable circulation increase. Author Mikhail Sholokhov, 54, is a devout Bolshevik who fought the White Guards...

The State Department gulped at the word from Moscow that the size of the Khrushchev official party had reached almost 100, headed up by his wife, Nina, sixtyish; two daughters, Julia, 38, and Rada, 29: son Sergei, 24; and son-in-law, Aleksei Adzhubei.

...have spelled disaster. There was the ambitious momma, dead set on getting daughter into show business-but with enough maternal instinct left over to mother a stray coyote, a spinster tourist and a Mexican wetback with a guitar. There was also the expected, easygoing dad, a navy officer son-in-law sore at momma's machinations, and a happy ending. But somehow, on the U.S. Steel Hour (CBS) last week, the thin substance of The Pink Burro stiffened into a commendable show...
...bitterly opposed sects are the Shiites and Sunnis, each claiming the true faith and branding the others as heretics. The Shiites acknowledge as their leaders the direct descendants of Ali, Mohammed's son-in-law, consider these imams incorruptible, infallible and immortal; since the disappearance of the last known successor of the house of Ali in 878, the Shiites wait for the "Hidden Imam" to make his earthly return. The Sunnis, on the other hand, refuse to accept divine inspiration by inheritance, recognize first the caliph as the "commander of the community," then turn to the "consensus," made...
