Leadership Is Indivisible. Then Khrushchev set his glass down and led Liu and 46 other Communist chieftains up the stairs to the Kremlin's green-tiled Winter Garden Room to open his "Red summit'' meeting. He had tried in vain to arrange a compromise at the Bucharest meeting last June. He had gone to lengths that flabbergasted Westerners, Afro-Asians and apparently even his own comrades at the U.N. to show that he could comport himself as militantly as any Peking proponent of revolutionary violence.

(To distinguish himself from the rest of the Gheorghius, who are as common in Rumania as Smiths...
...Soviet and Chinese Communist leaders have been screaming at each other in the most unabashedly public row between Communist states since Tito's Yugoslavia broke away in 1948. Last week the dispute was officially closed when the two governments and ten other Communist states signed an agreement in Bucharest upholding Nikita Khrushchev's doctrine of peaceful coexistence. Proclaimed Peking's Madame Sun Yatsen: "It is simply a lie" that Red China-as so many Chinese orators and editors had been saying at the top of their voices-opposed coexistence with ''the imperialists...
