"Wonderful," said the visiting stooge. "Ilnder the great leadership of Moscow, our peasants are having to work twenty hours a day to harvest the wonderful potato crop. And when it is al1 harvested, the pile of potatoes will reach right uo to the feet of God."

"Enough of such talk," sternly said Malenkov. "You know there is no God."
