...Best-known Kremlin bureaucrat accompanying Khrushchev will be dour Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, 50, who, as the youngest counselor in the Soviet embassy in Washington at the age of 30, got dubbed "the oldest young man in the capital," became Stalin's Ambassador to the U.S. (1943-46) and then to the United Nations, where he set a U.N. walkout record of 13 days 21 hr. 46 min. Khrushchev says of Gromyko: "If I tell my Foreign Minister to sit on a block of ice and stay there for months, he'll do it without back talk." Gromyko...
Pavel Satyukov, editor of Pravda (circ. 5,500,000), is an unknown who puts out perhaps the dullest newspaper in the world. Izvestia (circ. 1,800,000) Editor Aleksei Adzhubei, 35, is very well known indeed, partly because he is Khrushchev's son-in-law. But though Adzhubei might have been helped by the family connection, his ability is not disputed; as editor of Komsomolskaya Pravda (party youth organ) from 1957 to 1959, he cut down on party propaganda, racked up a notable circulation increase.

Even so, British newsmen built up tall hopes for high headlines. And when they were disappointed, they turned with fury on the handiest fall guy: Presidential...
Splendid & Shameful. The outstanding feature of James Conant's long (1933-53) reign as president of Harvard was his interest in education-notably public schools. Among besieged educators, he was well known (and trusted) long before he became U.S. High Commissioner and Ambassador to West Germany (1953-57). Among plain citizens he has won towering respect since The American High School Today (McGraw-Hill; $1) was published early this year. This fall Conant embarks on a second study: the junior high school. Nobody has already done more to convince Americans that high schools can improve-"with no radical change...
...cooler air of everyday life. Yet a growing number of clergymen, like Munich's Pastor Adolf Sommerauer, see a strong and rising tide. "There are those who worry that confession could become a sort of fad. There is no need to propagate it. Now that it is known throughout the church that it is available, those who need it can make...
