...week long, behind closed doors, the President was preparing to meet a crisis in Berlin. There were long, unscheduled talks with White House and State Department advisers. Hoping somehow to crack Khrushchev's illusion that the West would not stand firm, the President explained his position to junketeering Journalist Aleksei Adzhubei, Khrushchev's son-in-law and editor of Izvestia. Said Kennedy: "I just want to make sure that you and your father-in-law have no doubts about our position in Berlin." Adzhubei promised to carry the message home to the Kremlin...

Khrushchev has been such a regular subject for interviews that the Soviet Premier now regards Hearst as "my capitalist-monopolist friend." Hearst is moved to reciprocate. "May the Good Lord and my esteemed father forgive me," he wrote in a prologue to Ask Me Anything, the book based on Task Force...
...father's shoes. The globe-trotting safaris give him the chance. Other members of the retinue may do most of the shooting, but the quarry is usually softened up first by Hearst's friendly and disarming approach: "I hear what you're saying," he once told Khrushchev with a grin, "but I don't believe you."
