...prestige and position in the Soviet Union. Until recently the Moscow hierarchy was a determinedly collective leadership. Brezhnev's dealings are still sharply defined within the perimeters set by the Politburo. But since the last summit, when he shared the spotlight with President Nikolai Podgorny and Premier Kosygin, he has handled the show alone. In a major Politburo shake-up in April, he dispatched two of the strongest opponents of his policies. His official job - General Secretary of the Communist Party - does not entitle him to so much prominence. (Unlike Stalin and Khrushchev, he is not also the head...
...Congress in particular-will tolerate for the sake of trade and better relations with the Soviet Union.

Kendall got the idea of expanding to Russia from the late Llewellyn Thompson Jr., longtime (1957-62, 1967-69) U.S. Ambassador to Moscow. After making preliminary inquiries at the Soviet embassy in Washington, he put the question directly to Premier Aleksei Kosygin during a high-level trade meeting in Moscow last December. In the middle of their conversation, then-Commerce Secretary Maurice Stans strode up and cracked to Kosygin: "What's Kendall trying to do, sell you a Pepsi?" That was precisely what Kendall was doing, and with swift success: that very evening Kosygin approved the outlines of last...
