Died. Frol Romanovich Kozlov, 57, onetime No. 2 man in the Kremlin; after a series of strokes; in Moscow. Urbane and well-dressed, Kozlov was the stereotype of Communism's second-generation apparatchiki-the flexible party bureaucrat who could work with equal fervor for Stalin, Malenkov or Khrushchev, while carefully testing Moscow's changing winds. His real rise began in 1957, when, as a member of the 130-man Communist Central Committee, he shrewdly backed Khrushchev's bid for power, shortly thereafter became one of Nikita's two First Deputy Premiers and heir apparent; his decline...

And one hip-swinging blonde (the Betty Grable part) works her wiles on the doughy bureaucrat she has married to improve her standard of living. "There's nothing I wouldn't do for you," she teases. "But how can I do it in two tiny rooms?" Before virtue triumphs, Moscow establishes itself as a milestone of sorts. Despite its amateur-theatrical air, it shows...
