...FROL KOZLOV, 53, beamed a few years ago when Khrushchev told visiting Averell Harriman in Kozlov's presence that the handsome, iron-grey-haired Communist Party Secretary was his choice to follow him. Kozlov, trained as a metallurgical engineer, is an efficient, tough administrator who delivered the key speech on new party regulations at last October's Moscow party congress. He has apparently recovered from a heart attack he suffered last year. Kozlov occupies a strategic position in the party secretariat from which Stalin and Khrushchev made their power plays, and, like them, he has placed his supporters...
...became President of the Soviet Union, the job he now holds. In the past, the post has been largely ceremonial, although its character could well change with the man.

...made full membership of the Presidium in 1957 (and got back her husband, who had been shipped off as ambassador first to Prague, then to Belgrade). Her daughter married the son of Secretary of the Communist Party Frol Kozlov. Until Khrushchev started taking Wife Nina along on his trips, Katya functioned as Communism's unofficial First Lady, accompanying Khrushchev to Peking, Prague and Vienna. In those days, Katya was a bit of a juggernaut-shoulders padded, hair pulled back severely in a bun, not a trace of makeup. But Katya had professional as well as social talents in Khrushchev...
