...evident confusion in recent Soviet policymaking (TIME, May 5) got a pat explanation by the Polish Communists, who professed to see a power struggle between Politburocrat Mikhail Suslov, identified as an old-fashioned Stalinist ideologist, and that beaming old pragmatist, Nikita Khrushchev. The New York Times, playing the Polish thesis hard, even reported-but without offering supporting evidence-that Mao Tse-tung had sided against Khrushchev. But highest-level foreign policymakers in Washington, after weighing all the available but fragmentary reports, have now come to the conclusion that what is going on is not a struggle between individuals fighting...
...catastrophic for him. He is now almost alone. Mikoyan will always leap to the winning side, and cannot be depended upon. The only first-rate man left on Khrushchev's side is Zhukov." Many felt that there was an advantage in the fact that Khrushchev was no ideologist, no man of theory, but a pragmatist, and that his pragmatism would lead him into blunders, or against his will into making more concessions than would a more doctrinaire man. But a U.S. intelligence evaluator had another view: "He has demonstrated time and again that he is a gambler, ready...
...planted "French agents, British agents, American agents, Yugoslav agents," and told them the secrets of the Czech armed forces and workers' organizations. He implicated, as foreign contacts, former British M.P. Konni Zilliacus, who once fellow-traveled with Stalin and now does with Tito, and Moshe Pijade, a Jewish ideologist in the Tito regime. He said he had given important jobs to "capitalist Jewish emigrants who returned to Czechoslovakia as imperialist agents."

...Moscow, back in 1924, lean, leggy Hertta Kuusinen was a nubile 20-year-old much exposed to the twin influences of love and the Soviet state. Her father, Finnish-born Otto Kuusinen (now Vice President of the U.S.S.R.'s Supreme Soviet), was an agile ideologist whose fancy footwork had kept him Secretary of the Comintern during the chairmanships of Zinoviev and Bukharin. Hertta's heart interest was stocky, heavy-jowled Tuure Lehen, an ardent young Communist who had won fame as the author of texts on mob fighting and strike tactics. In stolen moments together at Moscow...
Schuman liked to say, "I am a technician, not an ideologist." He had a profound distaste for "isms." Therefore he was capable of as many twists and turns as he found necessary in the daily business of saving the Republic. But at the same time, Schuman never lost his quiet humanity nor his faith in men-qualities which distinguish him from the "Coco" doctrinaires of the Left and the gauntly pessimistic De Gaulle on the Right...
