Even the top-priority luncheon thrown for him by his great and good friend (and fellow Lenin prizewinner) Cyrus Eaton, the Cleveland industrialist, was not all K. had hoped for. Present were about 125 U.S. and Canadian businessmen (mostly associates of Eaton's) and a flock of Tass reporters. Though Khrush got a chance to sing his Communist theme, most of the guests deliberately passed up his offer to answer questions from the floor; one disgruntled guest was heard to mutter during K.'s speech: "Oh, sit down, you s.o.b...
