Khrushchev dispatched a warm message to Roosevelt's widow, praising F.D.R. for "his efforts on behalf of Soviet-American friendship." A Russian delegation appeared at Hyde Park to lay a wreath on F.D.R.'s grave, and Nina Khrushchev joined U.S. Ambassador Llewellyn Thompson and 250 Russians at a Moscow memorial ceremony dominated by a portrait of the late President...
