#1 If I remember the sequence right
1) Stalin died in strange circumstances and everybody thought Beria did it as
2) Beria grabbed power instantly.
3) Khrushchev and the others grumbled about it but Khrushchev was a straight forward and simple man who just walked in to see Beria, shot him dead and walked out.
4) Everybody breathed a sigh of relief and made him top dog for a few years..

#2 There is absolutely nothing the CIA does not seek to "exploit."
