...sense, the U.S. had helped touch off the Communist time of troubles by publishing the Khrushchev speech that confessed the violent crimes of the Stalin era (TIME. June11). Secretary of State John Foster Dulles had since reiterated that although Khrushchev damned despotism, the speech clearly revealed Khrushchev as a despot too−and this line has been echoed by bemused Communists throughout the West. "International Communism is in a state of perplexity and at internal odds," said Dulles at his press conference last week, "because certain basic truths have caught up with it . . .

Just what was going on, however, fairgoers and critics were at a loss to say. The Russians, back in their refurbished Muscovite pavilion for the first time since 1932, drew the biggest crowds. But the official, Stalin-period art (stocky peasant girls laughingly sheafing wheat) soon drove them away. The U.S. exhibit (TIME, June 18), which collected no prizes, was a hit, mainly because it stuck to one theme: "The City.'' Best that could be said: the Biennale was immense...
