...Lately, as a correspondent in the network's Tokyo bureau, he had been spending one month out of every three in the war zone. Not reluctantly: Syvertsen had a reputation for spunk. TIME'S Rome bureau chief, James Bell, particularly remembers a time in 1963 when Nikita Khrushchev was meeting with Dean Rusk in Pitsunda on the Black Sea. "The Soviet security people tried to throw us out," Bell recalls. "We were rescued by Nikita himself, who dressed down the guards, said we were his personal guests and could do anything we liked. So George calmly walked over...
...foreign policy consequence. The hawks in Moscow can now say that the Americans occasionally go nuts. What does that mean for the SALT talks?" Bator gave two explanations of Nixon's behavior. The first he called the "Kennedy Vienna syndrome." When President Kennedy returned from his Vienna talks with Khrushchev in 1961, Bator said, he was afraid he had given Khrushchev the impression he was soft.

Question of Veracity. In Moscow, Soviet Defense Minister Andrei Grechko warned that the time had passed when "encroachments on the independence and freedom of peoples can go un punished." Perhaps more significant, Premier Aleksei Kosygin called the first press conference held by a Kremlin leader in Moscow since Nikita Khrushchev's famous U-2 spy-plane disclosure in 1960.

The Soviet Premier, whose appearance was carried live on Russian...

Stalin's name has appeared frequently and admiringly in a torrent of war memoirs and newspaper articles. The first bust of him to be seen in Moscow since 1956, when Nikita Khrushchev launched the destalinization spring day. Within a few short years, a cold war would descend on the Continent, turning it into a zone of seemingly permanent confrontation. Last week the nations that battled for the soil of Europe were marking the anniversary in very different ways. The following stones from three European...
Since he first began to publish his poetry twelve years ago, Voznesensky has been sharply rebuked by Nikita Khrushchev and dismissed by conservative critics as a "formalist"-a derogatory term for a Soviet writer who allows himself to become preoccupied with experimentation rather than socialist realism. And he has frequently tussled with officialdom over censorship. His controversial stage revue, Look Out for Your Faces (TIME, March 9), an exuberant plea for individuality and self-expression, was ordered closed in February after only two performances. But his widespread popularity as the voice of a new Soviet generation has clearly survived undiminished...
