...caretaker "collective leadership." If Brezhnev were to retire in the near future, his titular successor would probably be Politburo Member Andrei Kirilenko, 69, an old Brezhnev crony, who has acted for Brezhnev during his recent illnesses. Kiril Mazurov, 61, at present Kosygin's standin, is expected to inherit the premiership. Potential second-stage succes sors to Brezhnev's job include such relative youngsters as Fyodor Kulakov, 58, who supervises agriculture for the par ty, and Konstantin Katushev, 48, the Party Secretary in charge of keeping East European parties in line...
