The basso-profundo keynote of Zinoviev's confession came as he boomed: "I went all the way from party power to counterrevolution and terrorism and actually to Fascism! For Trotskyism plus terrorism is Fascism! I abandoned Karl Marx." Arabian Nights. In his dispatch the next afternoon United Press Correspondent Norman Deuel cabled a broad, revealing hint as to the nature of the trial which he managed to get past Soviet censors: "Unexpected histrionic ability by minor members of the cast...
