...after nearly three years of on-and-off negotiations, the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. signed an elaborate cultural-exchange agreement. A few days later, to get the new era off to a brisk start, Moscow sent Mikhail ("Smiling Mike") Menshikov to Washington to replace dour Georgy Zarubin as ambassador.

...Ambassador (to Russia); 3) Governor (New York); 4) a man of such towering clout in Washington that former Secretary of State Dean Acheson personally toted his passport application (for a planned trip to Red China) to the State Department for approval. What's more, Harriman had brought along a collaborator almost as impressive: Charles W. Thayer, brother-in-law of ex-U.S. Ambassador to Russia Charles E.
