...income of $50 million a year from dues, investments and Soviet subsidies make it the largest, most influential Communist Party in the free world. It is also the fattest and most bourgeois, charge its critics. Years ago, Togliatti's double-breasted suits had become the symbol of Italy's "respectable" Communism, seeking power not through revolution but in Parliament and at the polls. These days, more and more Italian comrades wear well-cut grey flannel, while their women appear at party functions in modish sweaters with tasteful single strands of pearls. But right now there are some...
...outset of the trial, Janning is depicted as dumb, insensitized brute who will not recognize the tribunal's authority. In contrast, his brilliant young attorney, Oskar Rolfe (Maximilian Schell), is lively, handsome and sympathetic. It requires no great perception to see him as the symbol of young Germany, trying to assert its innocence and restore all it lost in the war.

Not long ago, Western newsmen reported, the Old Bolshevik and his daughter had been reduced to selling off the family furniture from her Moscow apartment, suggesting that he had been stripped of his post and income.* Last week the Supreme Soviet ordered his name expunged from 35 factories, streets and towns, and Molotov...
...Peking meanwhile, pictures of Albania's Enver Hoxha, who is the other symbol of the Stalinist-Chinese line, appeared on posters all over the city. Billboards proclaimed "eternal friendship" for "heroic Albania," the country that Khrushchev seeks to put beyond the pale of decent Marxist society. Alluding to Son-in-Law Aleksei Adzhubei's Washington visit, the Red Chinese press implied that members of Khrushchev's own family were consorting with criminals-the "gangsterlike and reactionary" Kennedys...
