LOUDMOUTH.('Khrushchev: The Man and His Era')(Book Review)
Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev was the unquestioned leader of the Soviet Union from 1957 to 1964. In this fairly short span, he managed to provoke two major international crises; survive a coup (a second toppled him); order two disastrous economic overhauls; and hold erratic confrontations with nearly everyone in sight--with the Chinese leadership, with Presidents Kennedy and Nixon, with the neo-Stalinists in his Presidium and the Russian intellectuals in his midst. On visits to the United States, he pounded his shoe at the United Nations, ogled Marilyn Monroe's derriere, and cheerily shovelled manure in Iowa with the locals.
