...Nikita's success was ratified at the ceremonies celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Soviet revolution in Moscow last November. China's Mao was so convinced of the Tightness of Khrushchev's policy reversal that he led the way for the adoption of Khrushchev's manifesto. Mao formally acknowledged the Soviet party's "leading role among the Communist and workers' parties," added: "China does not even have a quarter of a Sputnik and the Soviet Union...
Specks of Success. Such is the plot of Red Flower, one of the seven novelettes written by Liu Shao Tang, the "boy genius" of Red China, between his 13th and 1 6th years. More than 100,000 copies of his work were sold, and Liu modestly noted that "whatever little specks of success I may achieve - I who have always been reared and cultivated by the party -such specks of success are the result of the party's blood and heart."

Says Afro: "If you have authority to say it, and urgency, you are no longer decorative but creative...
Curiously, the season's other major trend-the show built around a star vocalist-is boomeranging. NBC's Perry Como and Dinah Shore, whose early success inspired the idea, enjoy the personal touch and the production support that still set them apart. Though her ratings have been ungallant, ABC's Patrice Munsel has given TV a welcome fillip of talented sex and voice appeal. But the Pat Boones, Giselle MacKenzies and Patti Pages have drawn neither rating nor rooting, and Guy Mitchell will get the ax at ABC this month. Biggest disappointment: Frank Sinatra, now busily trying...
