...Germany to study under General von Seeckt. The black-haired young Russian was a strange figure among the shaven-headed, monocled Prussians, but Swordsman Zhukov could outfence any of them, as he later could outfence any Russian officer who served with him. From Von Seeckt, chief theorist of the new German army that was already forming, Zhukov learned the strategy and tactics of the "breakthrough...
...Bolsheviks charged with treason, terrorism and various crimes against the state (i.e., 'Stalin). The technique of confession was now brought to its highest point.

Last week Attlee was busy with an even cleverer move: to reunite the feuding Labor Party and cut "Nye" Bevan down to size by taking over the Bevanite program and making...
...soldier, 70-year-old Premier Papagos spends much of his time looking to his country's defenses. The man who looks to Greece's economic and financial affairs is intense little Spyros Markezinis, chief theorist of Papagos' Greek Rally Party. Markezinis' program: 1) reorganization of overlapping government ministries, 2) decentralization of government from Athens. By ordering a merger of the national bank and the bank of Athens last month, Markezinis aroused the ire of shareholders, but, when effective, the merger will reduce the number of bank clerks by 2,000. In his reorganization of ministries...
