...greatest continuing story of our day is the struggle between Communism and the Western forces of freedom and justice. Sometimes it flares into easily reportable crisis, sometimes it flickers into seemingly monotonous detail. Last week it took a new turn. Into the U.S. flew a man named Frol Kozlov, little known to the world. He is the Soviet Union's First Deputy Premier, the man who runs the internal affairs of the U.S.S.R. when Khrushchev is away, a key man in the cold war. Not long after he began his remarkable visit, TIME decided that he should...
From the Washington bureau, White House Correspondent Charles Mohr followed President Eisenhower on his trip to Manhattan to welcome Kozlov; Correspondent Mark Sullivan tracked the Russian steadily through public and private functions in Washington; Anne Chamberlin flew to California in the Kozlov plane, persuaded him to answer the first personal biographical questions he had ever answered. The Kozlov story-a narrative of his travels and a portrait of his personality-was written by Jesse Birnbaum and edited by Louis Banks. It is preceded in NATIONAL AFFAIRS by a story that puts his visit and all the current visits by Americans...
Last week, with this in mind, the U.S. decided to give him the kind of public backing it has hitherto withheld. To Paris flew U.S. Information Agency Chief George V. Allen to address the 50th anniversary session of the Comité France-Amerique. Said Allen: "We believe General de Gaulle epitomizes much of the greatness, the strength of purpose and the high dignity of France. We are immensely heartened by the restored political stability and economic equilibrium of France."

Suez. U.N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold flew to Cairo to discuss release of the Danish freighter Inge Toft, seized by his Suez Canal officials last May for carrying Israeli cement and potash destined for Hong Kong and Tokyo. On the morning of Hammarskiold's arrival, Nasser's Al Ahram printed Nasser's declaration that the U.A.R. would hold the Inge Toft's cargo on the ground (rejected by the U.N. Security Council's decision in 1951) that his country was in "a state of war" with Israel. Beneath the autographed pictures of Nehru, Tito, Chou...
Last week, after 68 days' gadding about the world, from Stockholm to Hollywood, from anti-Communist Turkey to Communist Viet Nam, jovial President Sukarno flew back to his stricken land. Anticipating his arrival, army commanders converged on the capital, took rooms in the rambling red brick Hotel des Indes, discussed the situation far into the night. Strongly supporting their chief of staff, Lieut. General Abdul Haris Nasution, 40, the officers still seem eager to seek a workable partnership with Sukarno. Urging a return to the President's 1945 constitution and a further dose of "guided" democracy, they demanded...
