...Algerian coast one day last week a Russian Ilyushin 18 turboprop airliner cruised along in the early afternoon sunshine. Alone in the blue skies at 28,000 ft., it had aboard the Soviets' figurehead of state, Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet Leonid Brezhnev, 54, on his way to visit Guinea via a stopover in Morocco. At precisely 2:18 p.m. the Ilyushin got company...
...adjoining Vladimir Hall. First Deputy Premier Anastas Mikoyan, that scowling Old Bolshevik who helped the Soviets take over in Baku, led off with an Armenian solo.

...first woman ever to reach the Presidium. Along with her came chesty Marshal Zhukov, hero of Berlin, 69-year-old Trade Union Specialist Nikolai Shvernik, Frol Kozlov, a Leningrad party boss who backed up Khrushchev's stand on the Leningrad Case at the 20th Party Congress, and Leonid Brezhnev, who had worked with Khrushchev years ago when he was cleaning out opposition in the Ukraine. Four new faces were added: Otto Kuusinen, 76, a longtime Finnish Communist, Averky Aristov from Chelyabinsk in the Urals, Nikolai Belyaev from the Altai Krai in Siberia, and Nikolai Ignatov, a onetime partisan hero...
