...outlined and accepted, the conference would have three stages. First, the foreign ministers would meet briefly to lay the groundwork, and perhaps to agree on a broad agenda. Then, with their foreign ministers at hand, the Big Four heads of government-Dwight Eisenhower, Anthony Eden, Edgar Faure and Nikolai Bulganin-would meet to discuss issues and methods of arriving at solutions. Later the foreign ministers and their aides would deal in detail with the points outlined during the top-level meeting. On the first question to be decided, the place of meeting, the ministers promptly encountered a difference. Dulles proposed...
...about collective leadership, it is still obvious that in Moscow now there is no "highest level." The mystical belief that a Churchill-Malenkov meeting could dissolve the solid differences that an Eden-Molotov meeting would merely register has lost all content today when the prospect is an Eden-Bulganin or Attlee-Bulganin meeting. No British government can undertake to ease an anxious world of its fears merely by convening a new conference. It obviously cannot liquidate the armed might or shatter the dogmatic ambitions of the Soviet system, and while these things remain there can be precious little relaxation...
While there may be some doubts that the travelling circus of Messrs. Kruschev, Bulganin, and Co. will swing into Belgrade next week with "open hearts and pure minds," there can be no question that this latest of Soviet moves poses one of the most serious threats so far to the solidarity of the Western aliance. If only Yugoslavia were at stake, the Russian overtures for expanded trade and treaty ties would not be so significant. Yugoslavia, after all, is not a member of NATO and is bound to the West only through the Turkish-Greek triangle and United States military...
Round Trip to Odessa. Early in 1946 Zhukov disappeared. The grapevine said that he had refused to take orders from Vice Minister of Defense Bulganin (not yet a marshal), and that Stalin had come on the phone and told Zhukov he had better take a rest. Whatever the truth of these rumors, the fact was that Zhukov had grown too big for Stalin's comfort, i.e., too big to be quietly liquidated, and had been sent to the Odessa military district, where he was living quietly-under the watchful eye of Commissar Serov...
...those splendid diplomatic parties in Moscow where Soviet leaders permit themselves a few jovial words with Western correspondents, Russia's Premier Bulganin was asked whether there might be a "parley at the summit" after the Foreign Ministers met. "Ask Eisenhower and Eden about the date," he replied. "I have made my position clear." He had already said that he "took a positive attitude" toward Big Four talks...
