...sometimes it flickers into seemingly monotonous detail. Last week it took a new turn. Into the U.S. flew a man named Frol Kozlov, little known to the world. He is the Soviet Union's First Deputy Premier, the man who runs the internal affairs of the U.S.S.R. when Khrushchev is away, a key man in the cold war. Not long after he began his remarkable visit, TIME decided that he should be the subject of this week's cover. From that hour on, Frol Kozlov was subjected to the heaviest dose of reporting he had ever known...
...little the public Kozlov grin showed the true face of Soviet policy-was plain this week when New York's ex-Governor Averell Harriman, U.S. Ambassador to Moscow in 1943-46, reported, in LIFE and in memos to top Administration policymakers, on his talks with Premier Nikita Khrushchev (see FOREIGN NEWS). To Harriman, Khrushchev seemed to be dangerously cocky, dangerously ignorant of the West.

...windup press conference last week in Moscow, Harriman gave out next to nothing of his visit with Khrushchev. Instead, he defended, with practiced diplomatic finesses, the integrity of the U.S. exhibit in Moscow's Sokolniki Park. "We would be stupid to present anything except for what it is represented to be." Then, only slightly chastened by Communist China's polite refusal to grant him a visa, Reporter Harriman headed for Paris -where all good foreign correspondents go for rest and rehabilitation-before undertaking his next journalistic assignment : a textpiece for LIFE Magazine...
