...should be coupled with Marshal Bulganin's at the end of a long, amicably worded document. For the purposes of the Russian propaganda machine this document, couched in exactly the kind of language to which Pravda readers are accustomed, is as useful as a 20-year treaty of friendship.

From the Communist World Peace Council in Vienna last week, he learned that he had won an International Peace Prize of $14,000 and a gold medal for his "devoted . . . struggle for peace and friendship of all the people."
