NPR: Excerpt: The Best of I.F. Stone (5 September 2006)
On Soviet communism and the Cold War, in a speech at Fulton, Missouri on March 5, 1946 ( complete text http://www.churchill-society-london.org.uk/Fulton.html). Churchill did not coin the phrase "iron curtain", however; the 1920 book Through Bolshevik Russia by English suffragette Ethel Snowden contained the line "We were behind the ‘iron curtain’ at last!" (This fact is mentioned in the article 'Anonymous was a Woman' http://www.yalealumnimagazine.com/issues/2011_01/anon4651.html, Yale Alumni Magazine Jan/Feb 2011).
Post-war years (1945–1955)

“The danger to India, mark you, is not Communism. It is Hindu right-wing communalism.”
Context: [When asked in 1963 that "now that there is Communist government in Kerala, what would happen if communists came to power at the Centre?"] - Communists, communists! Why are you all so obsessed with communism and communists? What is that the communists can do what we cannot do and have not done?... Why do you imagine the communists will ever be voted to power at the Centre? The danger to India, mark you, is not Communism. It is Hindu right-wing communalism. (Jawaharlal Nehru, a Biography; by Sankar Ghose, p 180.)
