Khrushchev's words and his shoe banging

[Ruth Kreuzer]

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!).
