| Description: | Khrushchev's Mystery Mission Soviet Premier arrives in the tiny Red satellite of Albania for a lengthy visit that turns into a convocation of top red leaders from all over the Communist empire - purpose unknown. A strange counterpart to the current Geneva talks. Nikita Khrushchev waves his hat from atop staircase (while deplaning). Upon arrival he is very warmly greeted, with handshakes, kisses and hugs. Crowds cheer and wave with enthusiasm. Motorcade travels along crowd-lined street. A few women approach the convertible with Nikita in it. One woman reaches the car, hands him flowers, and reaches up as he reaches down for ... well, at the very least, a hug. Ick. | |
