Age 37, he stands a shade under six feet, but weighs almost 275 Ibs., in rolls of fat that start at his jowls and balloon into an elephant-sized waistline.

The embassy staff is permanent prey for Soviet plainclothesmen (even children's outings are sometimes shadowed by police), and telephone "bugs" in offices and homes are taken for granted. Though social contacts with Russian...
...only refusal came from the liberal Washington Post. President Philip Graham told the Soviet embassy that the Post would happily print the Khrushchev text in its news columns free if Pravda or Izvestia reciprocated by publishing the full text of President Kennedy's Sept. 25 speech to the United Nations, outlining the U.S. stand for realistically controlled and inspected disarmament.
