...Stewart Service from China in 1944. "The common people for the first time have been given something to fight for." In this situation, said Service, the U.S. ought to alter its policy of supporting the Chinese Nationalist government lest it drive the Chinese Communists into the arms of the Kremlin. Last week, years after his favorable view of Chinese Communism was proved tragically wrong, Service, 48, was back at work in the State Department...
Mikoyan, the Kremlin's agile Armenian, has made a career out of guessing right. Among the men who inherited Stalin's tyranny, his is the quickest and sharpest intelligence, and he is the slickest and shrewdest operator. He is the supreme Soviet trader, the one big Bolshevik to show both the talent and the will for business enterprise.

Beyond what the Kremlin announced, the U.S. knew that late last spring the U.S.S.R. had test-fired between four and six long-range ballistic missiles. The U.S. also knew that the big Red bird announced last week had not flown 5,000 miles but 3,500. The Kremlin announcement left unanswered a whole series of important questions: How many years will Russian industry need to make the missile...
