...Nose for Corpses. Khrushchev displayed the same poet-and-peasant touch in dealing with Mao Tse-tung's latest assault on Moscow's "revision ism." The Chinese, said Nikita, turning ever more violent, are "complete idiots" in espousing Stalinism. "There is a tradition to carry a corpse feet first out of the house so that it will not return. We carried Stalin out this way, and nobody will ever bring him back to us." The Chinese may "like the smell of corpses," he continued, but neither Russia nor the Western powers had the nose for it. "When...
...when the Roosevelt dime came out, the U.S. mint was flooded with queries about the initials J.S. at the base of Franklin Roosevelt's neck. Quite a few outraged folks thought the letters stood for Joseph Stalin, and that it was all a Communist plot, until Designer John Sinnock patiently explained that the initials were his.

Harking back to the murderous Soviet purges of the 1930s, Suslov accused Molotov of attempting to surpass Stalin...
...words "cold war" entered the American language - and the language of TIME - in 1947. Well before then the fact, if not the expression, was familiar. While the hot war was still in progress, a TIME cover story on Joseph Stalin in February 1945 noted: "The line of Russia's 800-mile military front practically bisected Europe. How much farther west was it going to move? And what went on behind that line?" Ever since, reporting the cold war waged between the Iron Curtain countries and the free world has been a major preoccupation of U.S. journalism. But the nature...
...General de Gaulle, from the time of he Casablanca Conference in 1943, lost all interest in the war and, calculating hat victory was certain, "concentrated upon restoring France as a great power." He shared with Stalin the knowledge that he could "exact greater concessions in the midst of total...
