If the obsolete man must electoral purposes accept the twentieth century, the extreme liberal must similar purposes swallow an unattractively large dose of nineteenth century Horatio Alger.

For a starter, at the old Mauthausen concentration camp where 123,000 prisoners died, Khrushchev denounced German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer for "Hitler" policies and later elaborated on the theme: "Hitler opened his mouth and wanted to swallow everybody. Adenauer licks his lips, he gets angry, but he cannot move from the spot. Should he attempt to touch the Socialist countries, he will be smashed immediately on the spot. Immediately...
