Risky Course. The arms that Nasser needs are tanks, jet planes, heavy artillery and a few naval craft. Czechoslovakia's famed Skoda armament works, now named for Lenin and controlled by the Soviet army, is well equipped to supply most of the arms. But to make effective use of Czech weapons, the Egyptian army will be obliged to set up a maintenance supply line running back to Prague, and, therefore, to Moscow. Thus Russia can secure a linn and influential hold on an area hitherto dominated by the West...
TIME was when the Kremlin was as inscrutable as Joseph Stalin's stony face, when analysts, trying to divine just what the latest Soviet pronouncement meant, rummaged back through 30 years of dusty files to find the significant quotation from Lenin. Now all is changed. Nikita Khrushchev, at the drop of a vodka glass, delivers himself of earthy opinions on anything from foreign affairs to women's clothes. Recent blurts...

There were some really first-rate messes around the world that could not by any stretch of the and Communist imagination be blamed on the Communists...
...Moscow, is it safe to let any of our legislators visit the Soviet Union?" "You're Uncultured!"

...trail-markers through the petrifying forest of bolshevized Marxist linguistics. Hodgkinson modestly calls his book a glossary; to compile it, he has evidently tramped the great lava beds of Soviet journalism, literature, ukases, encyclopedias, decrees and polemics, and toiled in the lead mines of the Marx-Engels-Lenin-Stalin classics. The result is not a formal study, but a beginner's handbook of what might be called progressive pidgin, published in England under the honest title of Doubletalk...
