...Vinogradov's performance succeeds better in Paris than the quick-fading charm of his counterpart in Washington, "Smiling Mike" Menshikov, it is partly because Vinogradov is on excellent terms with President Charles de Gaulle. This goes back to 1944, when Vinogradov was ambassador in Ankara. There, one day, a representative of General Charles de Gaulle approached him and asked that Moscow recognize the French government in exile. Vinogradov not only passed on the request but urged Moscow to grant it. When De Gaulle visited Stalin a year later, it was Vinogradov who was specially recalled to make him feel...
...nuisance of the Khrushchev visit, according to the reports given the President, was the U.S.S.R.'s Ambassador to the U.S. Mikhail ("Smiling Mike") Menshikov, who missed no chance to downgrade the U.S. to his boss. U.S. officials reasoned that Menshikov had been tailoring his reports on the U.S. so as to fit Kremlin conceptions, and that he was trying to justify his misreporting during the Khrushchev visit. When Khrushchev received a cap as a gift on the West Coast, Menshikov went into elaborate detail about the Italian hat industry's being far superior. Spotting a small cloud...
...Spare. Eisenhower and Khrushchev flew from Washington to Camp David together in a helicopter, accompanied only by their interpreters and secret-service details. Their principal aides-Secretary of State Christian Herter and Ambassador to the U.N. Henry Cabot Lodge; Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko and U.S.S.R. Ambassador Mikhail Menshikov-also helicoptered together. First evening the two parties sat down to a roast beef dinner, afterwards watched U.S. Navy movies taken on the North Pole trip of the nuclear submarine Nautilus, and also took in a western movie. The sleeping arrangements: Eisenhower, Herter, Khrushchev, Gromyko had adjoining single rooms...
...Nikita Sergeevich, I salute you on American soil," said the U.S.S.R.'s Ambassador Mikhail Menshikov at Andrews Air Force Base, Md. last week-and there he was. There on American soil was Nikita Khrushchev, short, bald and portly, wearing a black suit, Homburg and three small medals, bowing down the receiving line, accepting a 21-gun salute, parading past a guard of honor. There on his one hand stood his pleasant, shy wife Nina Petrovna, his daughters Julia, 38, and Rada, 29, his studious-looking son Sergei, 24, and a retinue of 63 officials and bureaucrats. There...
...Khrushchev says of Gromyko: "If I tell my Foreign Minister to sit on a block of ice and stay there for months, he'll do it without back talk." Gromyko's personality opposite on the tour: Ambassador to the U.S. Mikhail ("Smiling Mike") Menshikov, 56, whose beaming arrival in Washington 18 months ago first signaled the Kremlin thaw. He has addressed more U.S. luncheon clubs and business groups than any other Red Russian in history. His wide travels have doubtless provided reporting on the U.S. mood...
