...theory gained credence when, on the very day that Kennedy learned about the missiles in Cuba, Khrushchev did his best to cover up the operation by assuring U.S. Ambassador Foy D. Kohler during a relaxed,three-hour talk that the arms going to Cuba were purely defensive. Two days later, Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko showed up in the White House with the same soothing message. But all was not bland during Gromyko's 2½-hour visit. Noting that he knew Kennedy appreciated frank talk, Gromyko declared that U.S. stubbornness had "compelled" Russia to plan to settle the Berlin...
Palaver at State. Both London and Paris essentially agreed with Schroder's estimate. In Moscow, Nikita Khrushchev had a three-hour talk with Ambassador Foy Kohler in which he delivered no warnings, and pushed no harder than before. In Washington, Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, at his own request, saw Kennedy and Secretary of State Rusk. As usual, Gromyko was adamant; at a State Department dinner the dialogue droned on roughly like this...
Last week, after five grueling years in Moscow-a record for a U.S. envoy-slender (5 ft. 11 in., 150 Ibs.), baggy-eyed "Tommy" Thompson left for home and a new assignment as a special adviser on Soviet Affairs to Secretary of State Dean Rusk. Foy D. Kohler will arrive next month to take his place. Thompson's Moscow tenure had spanned the period from the short-lived honeymoon spirit of Camp David to the blowup at the Paris summit, to the Kennedy Administration's diplomatic "probes" over Berlin-altogether a mobile period, in many ways harder...
...Washington last week, Soviet Press Attaché Oleg Sokolov turned to his American luncheon companion and asked sourly: "Who's Kohler?" Sokolov knew perfectly well, since Foy David Kohler, 54, just named by President Kennedy to replace Llewellyn E. Thompson Jr. as Ambassador to the Soviet Union, has been at the center of East-West negotiations over Berlin-probably the knottiest, longest-standing tangle in the cold war. But if the Russian was simply expressing predictable skepticism, quite a few Americans were asking the same question about the man who is about to take over...
With Ambassador Llewellyn E. Thompson Jr. due home soon after a five-year hitch in Moscow, the odds-on bet to succeed him is Foreign Service Veteran Foy D. Kohler, 54. Assistant Secretary of State for European Affairs. A dogged little (5 ft. 6 in., 135 lbs.) career man for 31 years, Kohler was the top-ranking State Department official to accompany Richard Nixon on his 1959 tour of the U.S.S.R.. was in charge of arrangements for Nikita Khrushchev's visit to the U.S. later that year. Thompson will become a special adviser to the State Department...
