...would have pleased Nikita Khrushchev as much as a red carpet. He had made it clear to the State Department that he really did not want to see any more of the U.S. landscape than he could avoid (he ducked a visit to TVA and Ike's old home at Abilene, Kans.). Quite obviously, he wanted a lot of places to talk and a lot of people to listen to him. From all the week-before signs, that is just what most of the curious and relaxed U.S. wanted...
...Viktor Gonchar; Rada, 29, a biologist, married to Izvestia Editor Alexei Adzhubei; Sergei, 24, an electrical engineer.
