...views of those in the West who continue to argue that if Russia was reasonable enough to give up its Cuban bases, the U.S. ought to give up some of its own bases. A first sign of the line came at a Bonn reception last week when Soviet Ambassador Andrei Smirnov planted his tall, bearlike figure solidly before one of West Germany's top diplomats, Franz Krapf, head of the Foreign Office's Eastern section...
...when, on the very day that Kennedy learned about the missiles in Cuba, Khrushchev did his best to cover up the operation by assuring U.S. Ambassador Foy D.

In an airport interview with Moscow radio, he was welcomed to "Moscow, home of the classic ballet." Balanchine promptly corrected the interviewer: the home of the classic ballet had moved to America, he insisted; Moscow was the home of the romantic ballet. Balanchine was equally outspoken about the music written by his brother, regarded as the leading composer of Soviet Georgia...
