Eventually, Shriver was made assistant general manager-a kind of all-round vice president involved in sales, promotion, advertising. He married the boss's daughter in 1953 after six years of off-again-on-again courtship. Says Shriver: "She's a hard person to sell-tough as her father." They settled down in a 14-room duplex in Chicago, produced three bright-eyed kids (Robert Sargent III, 9; Maria, 7; and Timothy, 3). Shriver got deeply involved in civic affairs-as a good Kennedy in-law would-including five years on the Chicago board of education. He resigned...
Anticipating President Kennedy's tumultuous West Berlin reception, Nikita Khrushchev hastily arranged a trip of his own. He decided to go to East Berlin, ostensibly to celebrate the 70th birthday of East Germany's spade-bearded Communist Boss Walter Ulbricht. Just 48 hours after Kennedy, on the west side of the Wall, had cried, "I am a Berliner," Khrushchev arrived on the east side, bent on showing that he was a Berliner...
Stalin's Ghost. On hand for talks with Khrushchev in East Berlin were the satellite chiefs of Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Bulgaria. Absent, at least from among early arrivals: Rumanian Red Boss Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej, who is not only feuding with Moscow over economic planning but is warm toward Peking, allowed its manifesto to appear in the Rumanian press.

...firebrand who was known as La Pasionaria in the Spanish Civil War, now looks like someone's kind old grandmother. Others have made the change, at least outwardly, from Red Amazons to reasonably fashionable women: slim, tousle-haired Jeannette Vermeersch, wife of France's Red Boss Maurice Thorez, could have stepped out of the Galeries Lafayette, if not Dior. Once-dowdy Lotte Ulbricht, married to East Germany's lackluster President, could pass as a well-to-do provincial Hausfrau, and India's Aruna Asaf Ali looked striking in silk, making it hard to believe that...
These days Machado directs the party from a comfortable, middle-class apartment in Caracas and an office in the National Congress Building. His hair turned a distinguished white, the Communist boss carries (as do many Venezuelan politicos) a .38 pistol in his pocket. Of his family, he says that three of his brothers and two sisters are "members of the oligarchy-but good people in spite of that." He is "proud" of the work of the F.A.L.N., and explains its attacks on U.S. holdings by saying, "The enemy of the Venezuelan liberation movement is the U.S. monopolists...
