Corridor Incidents. But despite Gromyko's willingness to confer, it was still not certain that Nikita Khrushchev was ready to negotiate on rational terms. Soviet Defense Minister Rodion Malinovosky, in an ominous article in Pravda, said that Russia must arm its forces for "a strenuous, difficult and exceptionally fierce war." Along Western air corridors to Berlin, Soviet MIG-17s began making close-up inspections of U.S. passenger liners-the first such incidents in a year.

And last week, enjoying the uncluttered leisure of retirement, Ike, for the first time, hosted a full-length battlefield tour...
...blinding light of a multimegaton explosion. Some 1,500 miles to the south, in the stony uplands above Semipalatinsk, another nuclear bomb went off in a ball of fire, thrusting a column of fallout into the upper atmosphere. Thus last week, from one end of Siberia to another, Nikita Khrushchev continued to shock the world with almost daily detonations of nuclear weapons...
