Although Nikita Khrushchev suddenly discovered urgent business in Kiev, the Kremlin was stiffly correct about it all, sent out its chief dialectician, lanky, austere Mikhail Suslov, to meet the visitors. Head of Peking's seven-man mission: Teng Hsiao-ping, secretary-general of the Chinese Communist Party. As Teng stepped out of a Soviet TU-104 jet, a crowd of Chinese residents in Moscow, watched closely by a Chinese army colonel, sent up a cheer...
...Teng exchanged toasts, but that was just routine. For under the pose of politeness, the Sino-Soviet quarrel was becoming ruder than ever. Without explanation, Peking suddenly withdrew its two entries from an international film festival about to open in Moscow. And just before the party leaders met, Khrushchev and Mao Tse-tung exchanged a fresh round of insults over Red China's 25-point denunciation of Soviet policy.

Polish Prime Minister Josef Cyrankiewicz calls him "an outstanding special ambassador from West Germany," and Poland's Communist Party Chief Wladyslaw Gomulka agrees. Nikita Khrushchev recently received him for a 21-hour chat. Bonn's professional diplomats snidely dub him "the foreign minister from Essen...
...broke the ice with his smooth business and personal negotiations, Bonn this month will open a trade mission with embassy status in Warsaw, and negotiations are under way to open a similar mission in Hungary. Beitz has also initiated trade talks with Rumania; rumors persist that his visit with Khrushchev in May will lead in time to a new German-Soviet trade pact. Beitz is neither a profits-at-any-price executive nor as Red-Starry-eyed as the U.S.'s Cyrus Eaton, but he argues that "the great transition in the Soviet orbit is toward a consumer...
