...ALEKSANDR NIKOLAEVICH SHELEPIN, 46, hard-eyed ex-boss of the secret police, somewhat "sanitized" since Stalin's days, who remains in many ways Russia's top cop. His was the most remarkable of the new promotions, since he leapfrogged over the heads of oldtimers waiting around for membership to become the youngest member of the party Presidium. A persuasive pragmatist, Shelepin talked 350,000 Russian youths into volunteering for work in the virgin lands, served as Nikita's iceman when Khrushchev decided to re-refrigerate the thaw in Soviet art and literature two years-ago. Significantly, Shelepin...
...Jack Owen" had evidently been thrown into the box after all the other contenders had bogged down in deadlock, and it would be a miracle if he completed his short term. Asked what had happened to Khanh, Oanh explained that his ex-boss was still technically Premier but unfortunately "unwell," perhaps "mentally" from the long strain, and had repaired to the mountain resort of Dalat, South Viet Nam's traditional resting place for politically afflicted generals.

Dark horses include Andrei Kirilenko, 55, a member of the Party Presidium, who surprisingly bounced back from disfavor; Gennadi Yoronov, 50, who was recently promoted to full membership in the Party Presidium with overall responsibilities in the make-or-break job of raising...
...Kennan was shunted into exile (to the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study) by John Foster Dulles in 1953. In 1957 he flirted with "disengagement," i.e., neutralization of Germany" and the disarming of NATO, as a means of reaching a settlement with the Russians. No less a person than his ex-boss, Dean Acheson. slapped him down. "Mr. Kennan has never, in my judgment, grasped the realities of power relationships," said Acheson, "but takes a rather mystical attitude toward them." But Tito's Yugoslavia should give Kennan an ideal opportunity to sense the internal rumblings of international Communism...
