...candidate for Chancellor next time. In a sense it was Nikita Khrushchev who forced the decision. Last March Leftist Social Democrats put over a new party program, hoping to reunify Germany by appeasing the Russians. But when Ollenhauer went hat in hand to Khrushchev in Berlin, he found the Soviet leader frankly contemptuous of the Socialists' offer of German withdrawal from NATO. After that humiliating meeting, Socialist popularity fell. Instead of gaining from the Adenauer-Erhard bickering, the Socialist standing in public opinion polls has plummeted from 32% to 26%. When Ollenhauer bowed out last week, the leftists also...
Great Is My Country (Sovexportfilm) is the Soviet Union's loaded propaganda weapon sent along to accompany Russia's cultural exhibition (TIME. July 6). Filmed in a washed-out Red version of Cinerama called Kinopanorama, featuring a record-breaking-and superfluous-total of nine stereophonic sound tracks. Great Is My Country's 1½-hour barrage turns out to have been fired by a small bore...
Technically, the movie causes curiosity about how the Reds ever got Sputnik off the launching pad. Filmed with three different cameras simultaneously, the images are separated on the wide screen by blurry stripes from top to bottom.

Last year's production of 60 million tons was double that of 1950, or 70% of the U.S. total. The Russians are working feverishly to catch up, plan to equal U.S. production by 1972. Lumped together with China and the satellites, Russia's steel industry will gradually become a formidable challenge to the West, though for many years it will be devoted mainly to supplying Russia's own appetite for steel...
...Aloneness." brooded Poet W. H. Auden during a leaden hour of World War II, "is man's real condition." Nearly two decades later, the saga of Soviet Poet Boris (Doctor Zhivago) Pasternak suggests that the century's loneliest crowd consists of creative intellects behind Iron and .Bamboo Curtains. Even when these curtains rise briefly, as during the thaw that followed Stalin's death, they reveal strictly solitary singers. At one time or another, the authors represented in these two collections of protesting voices belonged to the chummy writers' cliques of Warsaw. Belgrade and other Red capitals...
