...than three decades the unquestioned leader of Italian Communism, he built the party into the largest outside the Iron Curtain, formed a leftist front that captured the votes of one of every three Italians. He had spent long years in Moscow, was a big wheel in Stalin's Comintern, won such confidence from the Kremlin that he was allowed to pursue his own "Italian line" of Communism. And he knew them all personally-Stalin, Beria, Molotov, Malenkov, Bulganin, Zhukov. All except...
...world's weirdest school. Even its name was a lie. The No. 101 Technical School for Agricultural Economy at Kushnarenkovo in the Ural region was not what it seemed to be-the boys would never cheer for Good Old Ag. Tech. It was a front name for a Comintern school, training foreign Communists to take over in their old homelands when the Russians won the war. The first odd thing about Tom Red's schooldays was that the hero had to change his name (he chose Linden). It was one step in the dehumanization process to which...
...three days in closely guarded secrecy with Poland's Communist Boss Wladyslaw Gomulka and Premier Josef Cyrankiewicz. Likely subjects: 1) inter-party differences brought out at last November's Communist summit meeting in Moscow, notably Gomulka's reluctance to accept revival of any sort of Comintern; 2) coordinated moves to follow up Poland's plan for creating a "denuclearized" zone in central Europe; 3) Gomulka's bullheaded insistence on trying to borrow some $100 million from the U.S. rather than from the U.S.S.R. Results: unknown...

But Khrushchev's old partner, Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin, did not come along, and he will not accompany the boss to East Germany next week, indicating either physical or political indisposition...
...policy is the thread which binds the separate sections of Mr. Graubard's addition to the excellent series of Harvard Historical Monographs. Labour saw no inconsistency here. The British Communist Party regarded Labour as its arch-enemy, even after the "united-front" directives of the third congress of the Comintern and no tactics were too underhanded for the communists in their efforts to woo the working class. Further, the smear techniques of the Conservative and coalitionist opposition drove Labour to even greater lengths to keep from being linked with communism in the public mind. In every statement, Labour repudiated...
