Bulganin, as Premier, officially heads the mission, and thus a great deal at Geneva may depend on the character and personality of this 60-year-old marshal. Only in recent months, in the searching and candid lens of foreign cameras, has the world had a good look at him. All his life he has served Communism and his country-as policeman and purger, businessman and bureaucrat, Defense Minister and Premier. Yet, until six months ago, he has made little more impact on the Western world than a splendidly caparisoned beefeater, opening and closing the door through which more ambitious...
...Candid Premise. The 1947 Hoover Commission was restricted to checking on the procedural efficiency of existing agencies. The new (1953) Hoover Commission got a much broader mission: to examine the substance of Government activity and arrive at conclusions not only as to how agencies were doing their work but also whether the work should be done at all. Such evaluations were made on a premise candidly expressed. Said Herbert Hoover: "Private enterprise is the root of our system, and the underlying thesis of the commission has been to preserve and strengthen the fundamentals of our system and our Government...
...This kind of defiance... may be altogether unwarranted in law; it may also reflect a mistaken estimate of a particular persons it is intended to protect.

"I would certainly like to be President," he told a TIME reporter. "Any politician who is forthright, honest and candid must confess that it is the greatest honor which can come to a citizen. I'm not going to lie to the people, and I'm not going to be coy." In the political sawdust of California, Goodie Knight is not the only or the leading presidential possibility...
Kramer's suggestions for cleaning up the game are straightforward enough: get the payoff above the table. Hold open tournaments and let both amateurs and pros compete for prize money, "as clean and candid a reward as there is." In Wiesbaden, Germany last week, where this year's crop of "amateurs" were competing in another tournament, Kramer's plan was cheered. "Every one of us in this tournament is paid, and if we weren't, you can be damned sure there wouldn't be a one of us here," said one player. "What...
