...Britain could send only "a mere marshal of its diplomatic corps" [April 23] to the wedding of Prince Rainier II and Miss Kelly but was able to do considerably better for two visiting Russian commoners. I am wearied of paying taxes to support ungrateful people who feel they are too good to attend the wedding of a fine American girl...
...communiqué issued at the end of the talks is an important Russian propaganda triumph. The fact that Sir Anthony Eden conceded nothing is far less significant from the point of view of Russian or satellite consumption than that his name should be coupled with Marshal Bulganin's at the end of a long, amicably worded document. For the purposes of the Russian propaganda machine this document, couched in exactly the kind of language to which Pravda readers are accustomed, is as useful as a 20-year treaty of friendship. Set side by side with smiling photographs, it will...
...Khrushchev's turn to talk. The "only way out" of the present world situation, Khrushchev suggested, is "to give up war altogether" and "ultimately to abolish armed forces." Entering the college, B. & K. had been rudely greeted by a loudspeaker from across the river Thames: "Here come Marshal Bulganin and Khrushchev.

...power struggle, the old Leninist phrase "collective leadership" was revived. The apparatus Stalin left behind was neither youthful, vigorous, nor rich in ideas. Some oldtimers like Molotov (66) are apparently slated for retirement, or about to be kicked upstairs, say, to the presidency in place of aging (75), ailing Marshal Voroshilov, who has taken to drinking heavily. Khrushchev, at 62, is in no shape to engage in a long-term fight and this makes him basically unsure of his position. On the other hand there is Malenkov (54) and a group of Central Committee secretaries, such as Mikhail Suslov, Peter...
...also a warning to Khrushchev. The subsequent acknowledgment of Stalin's anti-Semitism was also a reminder of Khrushchev's work in the Ukraine. As the Central Committee began rehabilitating liquidated Red army officers, Nikita's chosen partner Bulganin suffered a severe loss of prestige. Marshal Zhukov, who had been downgraded (and all but liquidated) by top military commissar Bulganin at the high point of his great wartime victories, had an old score to settle...
