   It became plain--and this is reported in the press everywhere in the world--that at the moment when the questioning became too inconvenient for the general secretary, he ended the process with a brutal threat to split the congress if it was not halted.
   ...
   One might also ask questions of Leonid Abalkin, Gorbachev's close economic adviser whose constant promotion of all types of capitalist schemes has made him notorious.
