...toasts, but that was just routine. For under the pose of politeness, the Sino-Soviet quarrel was becoming ruder than ever. Without explanation, Peking suddenly withdrew its two entries from an international film festival about to open in Moscow. And just before the party leaders met, Khrushchev and Mao Tse-tung exchanged a fresh round of insults over Red China's 25-point denunciation of Soviet policy. Although the Soviets themselves refused to publish it, Moscow complained last week that Chinese agents handed out the document in cities from Odessa to Leningrad and even in the atomic research center...
Italian Flight. As usual, the dispute was between the Khrushchev line, which holds that to avoid nuclear disaster capitalism must be fought through peaceful means, and the Mao Tse-tung line, which demands an aggressive policy. Coming on in the first session at the Kremlin's modern Hall of Congresses, Japan's kimono-clad Fuki Kushida demanded the withdrawal of U.S. "aggressive forces" from South Viet Nam, Formosa, Okinawa, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East. In a simpler period of Communist history, this might have passed almost unnoticed as the standard line, East or West...
Nikita Khrushchev had more reasons last week to wonder why he ever invited a Red Chinese delegation to Moscow.

Peking deliberately left the Kremlin no room for compromise. After years of discussion over whether the split was real, Western skeptics could no longer doubt that it was deep...
...month, their quota has been boosted to 55 Ibs., thus limiting the only fertilizer available for freelance farming. As an added turn of the screw, production quotas for collective output have been sharply increased, in hopes that the peasants will have to spend more time working for Mao Tse-tung and less for tsu-fa, meaning "self-prosperity...
...world, 15 expeditions have started for the summit. Two, perhaps three, made it: New Zealand's Sir Edmund Hillary and his Sherpa guide, Tenzing, first conquered Everest in 1953; a Swiss party followed in 1956; and Soviet-Chinese climbers say they planted a statue of Mao Tse-tung at the top in 1960-a claim that most experts do not believe. Other expeditions met only heartbreak or death. In 1924, just 800 ft. from the summit, George Leigh-Mallory and Andrew Irvine vanished forever into the swirling mists. And in 1952, without sleeping bags or even a stove...
