Khrushchev's words and his shoe banging

[VANCHU, ANTHONY J. (JSC-AH) (TTI)]

Interesting to hear that.  It verifies something I once read on line--a
quote from Khrushchev's son stating that, given the time of year and what he
usually wore, it would have had to have been a sandal.

Given that a banging a sandal is probably less noisy than banging a shoe, I
guess he didn't raise quite as much a ruckus as originally thought...

Side light on the "shoe-banging incident"...Many years ago my
dissertation advisor (Dr. Nicholas Pervushin, now deceased) was working
as interpretor at the UN that day. He told me the "shoe" was really a
sandal.  (I've always wanted to share that bit of information!).
