...Culprit Among Us. Scarcely stopping for the kvas that refreshes, Khrushchev wound up his ten-day visit to Hungary by again and again hitting his main theme: that the primary aim of the Communist revolution is achieving a prosperous Communism without resorting to nuclear war. Nor would he delude himself as to the difficulties of meeting that goal. When a Hungarian agronomist boasted at having surpassed the U.S. in wheat yield, Khrushchev put him in his place.

He graduated from a Houston high school at 15, worked eight-hour days as an office boy at an oil company and spent his nights at Houston University, where he wound up a B-plus student. After 51 missions in a B-25 during World War II, he got a graduate degree from the Harvard Business School, eventually opened his own advertising agency in Houston. One of his biggest clients was the Continental Oil Co. Another was Texas Congressman Albert Thomas, political pal of Lyndon Johnson...
