...inevitably won the reputation of being the Wild One of philanthropy. In launching his investigation of tax-exempt foundations, Tennessee's tub-thumping B. Carroll Reece solemnly warned of Ford's "subversive and un-American propaganda activities." Westbrook Pegler called it a "front for dangerous Communists," and Pravda accused it of "the sending of spies, murderers, saboteurs and wreckers to Eastern Europe...
...after Stalin's death, and when Moscow made friends with Tito two years ago, Albania conspicuously did not join the comradeship. In fact, whenever Moscow wants to show its contempt of Tito, it lets Albania's Dictator Hoxha denounce him, and then lengthily quotes Hoxha in Pravda. This is doubly humiliating because Tito detests Hoxha, and believes that if he is to be shot at, Moscow might at least use heavier artillery...
When President Eisenhower two years ago first proposed "open skies" over Europe and the U.S. so that each great power could keep aerial watch against surprise attack from the other, Pravda denounced the idea as "spying," and Premier Bulganin tried to laugh it down as daft.

...Dumbbell. Nowhere in Molotov's 3,000-word Pravda article was there mention of an earlier claimant to the same honor, whose name today is actually carved beside that of Lenin on the famous tomb in Red Square: Stalin. Since Stalin had long ago seen to it that few witnesses of those early Petrograd days remained alive in Russia, there was no one around to dispute with Molotov his actual relationship with Lenin. But the archives of Leninism still held their verdict. In a letter commenting on Molotov's work, the exiled Lenin wrote: "We have received...
