Winston Churchill died on January 24, and his funeral was viewed around the world via Telstar. Nikita Khru- shchev was removed from his position as Premier and was replaced by his two proteges, Brezhnev and Kosygin. His ex- pulsion had an air of mystery and only time will erase what he did. The Viet- nam story made the newspapers daily and by the time school was out, it was the boiling pot of southeast Asia.
