1. The looking for an obit on the front page

goes back at least as far as FDR.

2. It's true

3. Stalin, Khrushcev, and Brezhnev are riding together on the trans-Siberian express ...

when the train rolls to an unexpected stop. They send an aide forward to enquire what the problem is. The aide returns and reports that the engine has broken down, and the crew are working to fix it.

Stalin says: "Shoot the engineer, send all the crew to the gulag, and replace them."

Khruschev says: "Pardon the engineer, retrain the crew, and get the engine repaired."

Brezhnev says: "Pull down the curtains and pretend we are moving."
