Yes, we had television in 1959, and I watched a black-and-white Kruschev beating his shoe on a podium and saying "We (the Communist USSR) will bury you!" I was old enough to feel angry that a person who was guest in my country wished evil upon all of us. I didn't even know his predecessor Communists had cruelly starved, robbed, and killed twenty million of their fellow countrymen "for the good of our cause."
