Since I already posted a source (U.S. News and World Report,Dec.27,1957,p32)
for Khruschev's comment, and there seems to be concern as to the press's
misreporting, could someone explain the basis for this being an inaccurate
quote.  It is possible to say "we will bury you" in Russian and why would
U.N. translator make an obviously critical blunder?
