...communications aboard the Russian passenger liner Baltika were any good at all, its top passenger, Nikita Khrushchev, and his assorted satellite satraps last week had something new to chew over. As Baltika cruised toward New York harbor, the U.S. State Department handed a coolly worded memorandum to the Soviets' U.N. delegation, advising the Russians that Khrushchev-who had invited him self to the U.S. to appear before the General Assembly-should not make any plans to leave the island of Manhattan, and should find some place to house himself as close to the U.N. headquarters as possible...

In this tough moment for the U.N., the U.S. rallied to Hammarskjold's side...
...Khrushchev Disease. In the U.S., few strong voices were predicting imminent recession, but there was concern over the failure of business to move forward energetically. Boston Fund, Inc., a mutual fund, reported that it is "not too optimistic" about the economy. Banking, journal of the American Bankers Association, blamed the lack of boom spirit in the economy on the uncertainties of the November election and on "Khrushchev disease, a sort of exquisitely planned economic and political confusion." From Detroit came the gloomiest reading of all. Writing of the national housing picture in Midwest Housing Markets, President Irving Rose of Advance...
