After a historic meeting of the Communist Party Central Committee, U.S.News & World Report examined the turbulent times in the Soviet Union. "In loosening the Communist Party's 72-Year lock on the levers of power, Gobachev has shifted the debate over the future of Communism from familiar ideological ground to the slippery slope of pragmatism while standing the central tenet of Leninism, the party's right to rule, squarely on its head."
Wesley Bocxe–Sipa
