...answers to nine questions conveniently framed by Rome's highbrow Nuovi Argomenti. According to Togliatti, Khrushchev went too far: "Criticisms of Stalin at the 20th Congress, which were largely unexpected, hit hard at the cadres of the international movement; there was not only surprise, there was also sorrow and bewilderment; there were doubts about the past." He explained that the criticism was needed because "leading cadres of the Soviet society had become insensitive and had lost personal capacity owing to the Stalin cult...
...centuries India's Damodar River, meandering 340 miles through the northwestern hills to the sea, has been known as the "River of Sorrow." A plaything of the seasons, in summer's 120° heat the river dried to a trickle in a parched gulley.

For Kollwitz' images, somber though they are, are reflections of everywoman...
...vacations, were aggravated by sabatticals, and were culiminated by Guggenheim Fellowships. The exodus leaves the department without Gilmore, Hammond, McKay, Schlesinger, Wolff, Bailyn, Conway, and McGann; Malia in the springtime; Albion and Graubard in the fall. So pity the history major as he tries to find a professor. Sorrow for him as he searches for courses with which to pass generals. Grieve for him as he looks for Greece, early Rome, most of the Middle Ages, half of Renaissance and Reformation, Russia from 1801 to 1917, the Tudors, the Stuarts, Canada, Argentina, Venezuela, Ireland, the American Revolution, the South, American...
