...Question of Heresy. The walkout at Ljubljana marked the worst crisis in relations between Russia and Yugoslavia since Khrushchev's crow-eating visit to Belgrade in 1955 to apologize for Stalin's 1948 expulsion of Yugoslavia from "the camp of Socialism." This time Khrushchev himself was wroth, because the draft program which Tito and his colleagues prepared for their party congress blamed...
...bright morning last week the highest ranking Soviet official ever to visit the young German Federal Republic stepped down from a silvery Tu-104 jet airliner in Frankfurt, and in his honor West Germany grudgingly broke out the Soviet Russian flag. First Deputy Premier Anastas I. Mikoyan had come to sign the $750 million, three-year trade agreement recently negotiated between Bonn and Moscow (TIME, April 21).

Ivanov decided to make over his Chrysler into a homemade armor-plated tank...

Pale and less cherubic than usual, the old parliamentarian made his way to a corner spot near the Treasury Bench, chatted with members from both sides, voted twice with the government on minor issues. Next day Churchill's chauffeur-driven Humber made a turn on Parliament Square, collided...
