Hope & Wariness. And so they talked of many things-the kind of discreet chatting so beloved by Sir Anthony Eden. They talked of Communism's new directions, hopefully on the part of Nehru, warily on the part of Canada, Australia and New Zealand. (The final communiqué artfully alloyed both the hope and the wariness.) They agreed on wishing that the Formosa situation may not get out of hand.

During the early part of that tour with Khrushchev and Bulganin, Serov managed to remain always close at hand but as unobtrusive as a plainclothesman. At state functions and banquets he was billed on programs and place cards simply as I. Serov. This meaningful name on the list of the Khrushchev-Bulganin entourage sent TIME...
