...Minnesota's Democratic Senator Hubert Horatio Humphrey Jr. returned to his Capitol Hill office last week than an emissary from the Central Intelligence Agency's Director Allen Dulles arrived on the scene. CIA's Dulles wanted to see Humphrey immediately about his 8½-hour Kremlin visit with Nikita Khrushchev. A little later Atomic Energy Commission Chairman John McCone called with an urgent request for an appointment. Humphrey settled by arranging to meet everyone in the office of Under Secretary of State Christian Herter right after his special midafternoon news conference. And that event, as the tumult...
Bugs & Jimmy. Columnists' comments were heady indeed. Humphrey, said New York Timesman Arthur Krock, had pulled off "the launching of the first American presidential campaign from the steps of the Kremlin." Headlined David Lawrence's column: KHRUSHCHEV-HUMPHREY TALK TOUCHED ON RELIGION, MORALS. Glowed Doris Fleeson: "It's a very merry Christmas for Hubert Humphrey."

To a German reporter who saw him for a few moments after the Nobel announcement and the resulting political storm, Pasternak said: "I am sorry, I didn't want this to happen, all this noise . . . But I am glad I wrote this...
Weather of the Heart. An oldtime literary colleague of Pasternak's and a party-liner, who has managed to survive Moscow's murderous political traffic by carefully watching the Kremlin lights, ventured (before the Nobel Prize fracas) to praise Doctor Zhivago. Said Ilya (The Thaw) Ehrenburg: "The description of those days is excellent. Pasternak and I belong to the same generation, so I can pass judgment on this." But the editors of the Moscow magazine Novy Mir, to whom Pasternak submitted the manuscript in 1956, stated the Communist case against the novel. Apart from Pasternak's sympathy...
