...months Nikita and Nikolai, the Kremlin's stubby twosome, have been as busy as a brace of one-armed sceneshifters, dressing up and restyling Communism's raddled charms. They rearranged the diplomatic furniture, chalked out new guide lines, devised lulling offstage music. Last week they added some final touches. When the curtain rises on the foreign ministers' meeting at Geneva in October, the world will be presented with a scene of a Communist world beaming with good will, disbanding armies, releasing prisoners, withdrawing from foreign bases, sending cultural missions abroad and beckoning businessmen to its marts...

Now a balding 48, Sylvester covers a bright-light beat that ranges from the East Side Chinese Laundromat called "Helpee Selfee...
There were no such glum reflections in the Kremlin. Scarcely had Adenauer disappeared than a swarm of East Germans, headed by Premier Otto Grotewohl, flew in as if on cue In the next few days, the Kremlin resounded with revelry as masters and puppets staged a weird, diplomatic Walpurgisnacht dance of triumph, like so many witches cackling over some treacherous bargain. "We laugh at Adenauer," crowed Grotewohl, and Deputy Premier Otto Nuschke, with the Russians' beaming approval, deliberately mocked at every Adenauer claim of achievement.
