Rude Silence. Also giving the soft line a hard sell was one of Khrushchev's oldest cronies. First Deputy Premier Aleksei Kosygin, who hailed "concessions made by both sides to peace and sanity" in Moscow's missile misadventure in the Caribbean. Regarding Berlin, Kosygin omitted the usual Communist demand that Western troops quit the city and did not refer, even vaguely, to a deadline for a separate Soviet peace treaty with East Germany. Next day, Defense Chief Rodion Malinovsky reduced his professional rocket-rattling to below last year's noise level, reviewed an eight-minute march-past...
...ALEKSEI KOSYGIN, 58, was only 13 when the Bolsheviks seized power, and is one of the best examples of the new breed of Soviet technocrat who relies less on Communist dogma than on practical results. A wartime premier of the Russian Soviet Republic, Kosygin entered the inner Kremlin circle under Stalin, lost the dictator's favor in 1948 and remained relatively unimportant until 1959, when Khrushchev turned Kosygin's experience as an economic planner to use as the head of the State Planning Commission. During a tour of France two years ago, Khrushchev openly referred to his traveling...
...know circuit, other somewhat obvious candidates are brusquely dismissed. First Deputy Premier Anastas Mikoyan, 65, the hardy survivor of a dozen plots and purges, is an Armenian. Tousle-haired Party Secretary Mikhail Suslov, 58, the "hard line" party theoretician, is rated too theoretical; First Deputy Premier Aleksei Kosygin, 58, a veteran economic planner, is thought to lack the stomach for the job.

...paved the way for Khrushchev's visit to the U.S. last year, gave up his post as First Deputy Premier to become one of Khrushchev's top party aides. Early last year Khrushchev told Averell Harriman in Moscow that he regarded Kozlov as his successor. But Aleksei Kosygin, 56, named First Deputy Premier last week in Kozlov's place, has since won equal apostolic blessing for his work as head of Khrushchev's seven-year-plan. On tour in France last month, Khrushchev several times pointed to Planner Kosygin as "my successor...
...President of the Soviet Union, he nominated (and the Supreme Soviet promptly approved) swarthy, bushy-browed, dynamic Leonid Brezhnev, 53. Like Kozlov and Kosygin, Brezhnev belongs to the new generation of Soviet men, reared among machines rather than revolution, trained in industry, agriculture and politics. He got his start working under Khrushchev in the Ukraine, moved to Kazakhstan to launch Khrushchev's pet "virgin lands" scheme, and only this year made his first trip beyond the Iron Curtain to speak at a Finnish Communist Party Congress. Since he still is a top Party Secretary, Brezhnev may fill the hitherto...
