Next morning Nehru, wearing a white rose, laid a wreath at the Lenin-Stalin mausoleum in Red Square, and set out on the standard Kremlin tour, interrupted at intervals by "passing" groups of happy Russian tourists, who just chanced to have bouquets of flowers to give to him. In the Kremlin armory Nehru lingered over a small dirk of Indian craftsmanship, once owned by Peter the Great...
...after him. When Adenauer did not hustle off to Moscow, the Russians took his delay easily. "We have no timetable." said First Deputy Premier Mikoyan. The real meaning of the Russian offer, and of the timing, is that Russia is announcing-in advance of the summit parley-that the Kremlin is content for now to accept two Germanys.

First it had been his job to deliver Trieste to Yugoslavia; then, after Tito's schism, the party line called for keeping Trieste independent; finally, last year, he was supposed to cooperate in turning Trieste over to the Italians, though a goodly portion of his Trieste Communists are Slovenes. He was also pressed to give up his autonomy and submit...
