...Lipstick." Next evening the White House lights glowed again with the President's annual reception for the diplomatic corps. Jackie brought back the Strolling Strings and also the Marine Band jazz combo for dancing-scheduled. The hit of the evening was new Russian Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin, who whisked his attractive brunette wife through a fox trot, insisted the step was "typical Russian." Among the early evening kibitzers was Caroline Kennedy, who appeared in an organdy dress and bandaged chin, proudly explained that she had cut her chin while capering alongside the White House swimming pool...
Something was happening about Berlin. Twice in five days, U.S. Secretary of State Dean Rusk met Moscow's new man in Washington, affable Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin, for talks on "procedure" that might lead to actual negotiations this month.

In any case, the U.S. was still determined to retain allied access to the free city, and the Soviets showed no signs...
This week or next Dobrynin was to present his credentials to President Kennedy at the White House. Until he got to work, Washington could not be sure whether he was an improvement or not-but there were some encouraging signs. Dobrynin is young, intelligent, and far more relaxed with Americans than Menshikov, whose major trademark was a stiff, frozen grin. For a Soviet diplomatic couple, the Dobrynins have unusual social poise, even dress like Americans. On the art-and athletics-conscious New Frontier, they are likely to contribute more than Menshikov to Washington's social whirl. Both are accomplished...
