...Nikita Khrushchev's first acts on the death of Stalin was to rush to Belgrade to bear-hug the heretic Tito, and to endorse his thesis of "different roads to Socialism." But now that Khrushchev holds both of Stalin's positions (party secretary and Premier), and now that he has Poland and Hungary more or less under control, he obviously feels less need to placate heretics.

Yugoslavia's Marshal Tito has made much of the things that differentiate his Communism from other Communism. In Soviet Russia 1,378 candidates stood for 1,378 seats in last month's Supreme Soviet elections. Not for Tito such a travesty of democracy.

Among his biggest boners: the purges of the late '30s, trusting Hitler, feuding with Tito, believing in inevitable war between capitalist and socialist states. "Stalinism" is now officially a tainted word, but that is not Joe's fault: "The term is an invention of reactionary imperialist circles...
