Best guess was that Khrushchev had concluded from recent speeches of Western statesmen that he was not going to hornswoggle the West into concessions either by "peaceful coexistence" or even summitry-and had decided to leap ahead of his critics. For in Communism's harsh code, only results count. Peering over Khrushchev's shoulder is Red China's Mao Tse-tung, who challenges him as a Marxist theoretician and as leader of the "Socialist camp." Mao, who knows that it is not China that will get hit in a nuclear holocaust, has insistently been crying out against...
...spite of what Premier Khrushchev says, the Soviet Union is still building bombers. The Soviet air force is currently introducing into service a supersonic bomber so new that NATO has not got round to assigning it a code name.

Replied Landon icily: "That...
...Florida, where the multimillion-dollar citrus industry is one of the state's biggest, that is tantamount to coming out for frost. Chairman J. R. Graves of the Florida Citrus Commission accused Tropicana of "premeditated and willful violation of the citrus code" (which prohibits producers from adding anything to fresh juice), called the deed "a reflection on the integrity of the entire industry." The Florida Citrus Commission called for punishment of Tropicana "in a degree commensurate with the seriousness of the offenses." Tropicana President Anthony T. Rossi admitted that he had ordered cane sugar syrup added to about half...
