Khrushchev has sought to convert the United Nations into the "dis-United Nations" by dividing the nations — as ancient Gaul was divided, according to Julius Caesar — into three parts, which he conveniently, though perhaps not very accurately, describes as the communist world, the free democratic world — or as he
