The doctors were plotting, the doctors were not; Beria was in, Beria was out; Tito was out, Tito was in; Yugoslavia was a dictatorship with ruthless suppression of opposition, Yugoslavia is finding its independent path to socialism; Stalin is up, Stalin is down . . . The Daily Worker editors had carved out a position even more unassailable than the Soviet leaders have claimed for them selves. The Soviet leaders admitted to previous mistakes. The Daily...
