...contrast with Stalin's lack of concern with living standards, Khrushchev has attempted to solve these problems. "From my own and other people's conversations with the Russians, I think they are impressed by what has been achieved lately," Bergson comments...

It was a setback for Ike, who had publicly expressed (as had Khrushchev) a preference for a summit before the end of this year.

"This is a peaceful thing," one hunkerer says. "A respite from a world of turmoil. The main purpose of hunkerin' is to get down and hunker together. It's a friendship thing: get your friends to hunker with you. The man you don't know is the man you haven't hunkered with...
