...dominant half of the divided Moslem country. Anti-West Pakistan riots among the Bengalis forced ex-President Mohammad Ayub Khan into retirement last year. Successor Yahya, who has scheduled for next week the first general elections since Pakistan won independence 22 years ago, has taken some steps to correct the economic and political imbalance between East and West. But he has a long way to go. In the world's fifth most populous nation (pop. 130 million), a group of "20 families"-nearly all in West Pakistan-control 66% of Pakistan's industry and 80% of its banking...

Khrushchev's overall judgment: He was a man of "outstanding skill and intelligence. In everything about Stalin's personality there was something admirable and correct as well as something savage." Nevertheless, "there was unquestionably something sick about Stalin."
