PAYOFF FOR STALIN'S DAUGHTER
It is reported that more than $2,500,000 has been paid for the first serial rights and advance book royalties for the memoirs of Stalin's daughter, Svetlana Alliluyeva.
This is thought to be a record, exceeding even what was paid to EFisenhower for his memoirs as he was being groomed for the White House.
The generosity of American publishing circles is no doubt intended as an object lesson to other potential defectors in the USSR made ripe by Stalin's thought for the individual initiative, free enterprise and competitive spirit of the American Way of Life.
