...Elmo Roper promptly criticized Rockefeller for letting his decision rest upon a mere "popularity poll" when he "ought to make up his mind whether the things he believes in are more likely to come about if he is President." Pollster George Gallup, who last July showed Nixon trailing Democrat Adlai Stevenson 44% to 56%, reported that Nixon's Russian trip boosted his trial-heat vote to 51% v. 49% for Stevenson...
Historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr., of Harvard, the A.D.A. and Adlai Stevenson's 1956 strategy board, senses the change-and more changes to come. In a confidential memorandum circulating among the party's presidential hopefuls last week, Schlesinger argues that the country, with tidal regularity, goes through alternating cycles of liberalism and conservatism every 15 or 16 years.

His hosts assigned him one of their top interpreters. Vasily Vakhrushev, who last year guided Adlai Stevenson around the Soviet states. Chauffeured official ZIS and Zim sedans were placed at his disposal; interviews with party leaders-including a 90-minute tete-a-tete with Khrushchev-were easy. Barriers melted away, and the safari toured industrial areas in Siberia and the Urals hitherto closed to capitalist rubbernecks...
