From the Washington bureau, White House Correspondent Charles Mohr followed President Eisenhower on his trip to Manhattan to welcome Kozlov; Correspondent Mark Sullivan tracked the Russian steadily through public and private functions in Washington; Anne Chamberlin flew to California in the Kozlov plane, persuaded him to answer the first personal biographical questions he had ever answered. The Kozlov story-a narrative of his travels and a portrait of his personality-was written by Jesse Birnbaum and edited by Louis Banks. It is preceded in NATIONAL AFFAIRS by a story that puts his visit and all the current visits by Americans...
...sudden, it seemed, the much-talked-of "peaceful coexistence" was busting out all over. In the U.S.S.R. last week, Pravda displayed a photograph of President Eisenhower and Vice President Nixon in a smiling huddle with First Deputy Premier Frol Kozlov at the opening of the Soviet fair at the New York Coliseum. In the U.S., newspapers showed nine camera-laden U.S. Governors traipsing gaily through Moscow and Leningrad and Kozlov sightseeing around Manhattan with New York's Mayor Robert Wagner. While New Yorkers were jamming into the Coliseum to look over Soviet wares ranging from Sputnik models to calendar...
Vast Ignorance. But the big fact about Peaceful Coexistence, 1959-the fact beyond Kozlov's toothy public grin and the U.S. Governors' convivial good will-is that it is a deadly serious part of cold war. Washington encourages a strictly reciprocal exchange in an attempt to dent the vast and dangerous Soviet ignorance of the U.S., make Russians more restlessly aware of the gulf between U.S. and Soviet standards of living. Washington tolerates Kozlov-level visits because the President wants the Kremlin hierarchy to know firsthand that the U.S. is united and deadly serious in its intention...
...Russians play the game for the propaganda value, i.e., one picture of a grinning Frol Kozlov toasting a grinning Dwight Eisenhower cannot help taking the heart out of would-be satellite rebels. Moreover, the Russians want credits and trade to build up their industrial strength. And while they talk peace, they make it clear in closed-door sessions that peace means a world where there is no opposition to their threats and bullying...
...Worse Than Stalin." Just what the U.S. can expect when the Geneva conference resumes next week-and how little the public Kozlov grin showed the true face of Soviet policy-was plain this week when New York's ex-Governor Averell Harriman, U.S. Ambassador to Moscow in 1943-46, reported, in LIFE and in memos to top Administration policymakers, on his talks with Premier Nikita Khrushchev (see FOREIGN NEWS). To Harriman, Khrushchev seemed to be dangerously cocky, dangerously ignorant of the West. Even after discounting Khrushchev's performance as tactical bluffing in part, Harriman found him "shocking, worse...
