World Congress of Intellectuals in Defense of Peace
Comment: A number of alts are possible. For example
ALT1: ... that the World Congress of Intellectuals in Defense of Peace, a 1948 propaganda event organized by Polish and Soviet communist, accused the governments of USA and UK of working to destabilize the world? or
I think (with all due respect, and de gustibus) it is much more boring than mine, but if you add the reason why he left, it may become better. PS. Please try to ping people on their talk if leaving comments here, thanks! --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|

Sorry, I stopped "pinging" when we got the templates that can be watch-listed individually. The original hook strikes me not as boring, but as "too peaceful", I don't read the conflict that the article contains, --

Have just struck ALT1 and ALT2, as both are over the maximum 200 characters. Sorry I didn't notice this problem earlier. As an outside observer, I have to admit that neither remaining hook strikes me as particularly interesting (though the original is a bit more so than ALT3); I have made "communists" plural in the original, as it needs to be. Just glancing at the article, Einstein's censored letter immediately got my attention as a "hooky" fact, but I think the article ought to say who censored it and why, if that's in the source.

I don't believe that it was discussed in detail. I'll look later if it can be expanded, for now - I expanded it a little, for the ALT4 below. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|
