Looking fit, sunned and a trifle slimmed after his seven-week Black Sea vacation, Nikita Khrushchev bounced back into Moscow last week-and immediately things began happening. Even before he arrived, the Kremlin air crackled with premonitory flashes as the big boss, like a storm thundering over the horizon, moved slowly northward toward his desk, fulminating all sorts of commands and imprecations as he advanced. Far south in the Caucasus he rumbled darkly of the wholesale overhaul he plans for the Soviet school system, warned all parents that his project of sending all teen-agers out for two years...
Missouri's Harry S. Truman, back in 1948 form ("I just tell the truth, and they think it's hell"), showed off his widest swings for an intimate, friendly audience of 2,300 in Wilmington, Del.

He talked long with U.S. Columnist Walter Lippmann, told a Brazilian journalist "we could supply Soviet machines and specialists to Brazil." In his most formal black hat he welcomed Polish Communist Chief Wladyslaw Gomulka at the rainswept Byelorussian station for an important party visit. But his flashing feat of the week was bringing off an international propaganda coup in the Arab Middle East...
