Stalin birthday gifts show Communist esteem and humor

The Nation Today notes Joseph Stalin turning 70, a calm, unexcited citizen amused by the huge birthday attention. Gifts pour in from Communist and allied supporters, some items unwelcome, others fitting grand prize analogies, as Moscow enjoys the spotlight.

Santa Claus is a changing image through the ages

A study by Miss Jeanette Lee of a Kansas City greeting card firm traces Santa’s evolving look from the tall, thin 19th century St Nicholas to the modern plump, red-clad figure. Nast and Norman Rockwell helped shape today’s visage, with only minor variations likely in the future.

The Stalin Lineage and Lenin’s Shadow in Soviet Rhetoric

The piece argues Marxist theory flows from Marx to Lenin to Stalin, with Stalin seen as the practical heir. It notes Soviet glorification, the embalming of Lenin to endure, and anticipates Stalin’s own possible embalming. It then shifts to Fred Enke and his 25th year coaching the Arizona Wildcats basketball team.
