Typical was the disclosure that last year's harvest of bread grains was a huge 151.5 million tons compared with 1963's mere 107.5 million. The rustic Khrushchev would have ballyhooed news like that from the golden onion domes. The quiet men of the new regime buried it in a handbook of Soviet statistics that simply appeared-six months later-in Moscow book stores.

It is the star that is not reached and the harvest sleeping in the unplowed ground. Is our world gone? We say farewell. Is a new world coming? We welcome it-and we will bend it to the hopes...
