...Saturday Review of Literature, News Analyst Elmer Davis projected some of the effects of World War No. 9: "Stalin and Molotov are dead, but [Andrei] Vishinsky is getting rich out of his memoirs being published in several American newspapers-his theme being, of course, 'I Was Always Secretly a Menshevik.' " The Russian atom bomb meant for the Gary, Ind. steel mills "was dropped by grave mischance right on the Chicago Tribune Tower . . . Colonel Robert R. McCormick, warned in time, was safe in his underground shelter; but he emerged too soon, in confidence that no European radiations could harm...
Malenkov has been married twice. His first wife was one of Molotov's secretaries. He divorced her and married Elena Khrushchev, a handsome actress. The present Mrs. Malenkov turned from the stage to the schools.

With party and police backing, Malenkov stands at the pivot of Soviet power-for the moment...
...What does Stalin really think of Molotov? A Western visitor at the Kremlin, after talking with the two Soviet leaders, told this anecdote: "Stalin loves to think of himself as a great military strategist. At the drop of a hat he will get out the military maps. He offered to take me right down to the map room to make a point, and he rose to lead the way. I saw Molotov was bored stiff, so I said, 'Generalissimo' (he loved that 'generalissimo'), I'd like to look at those maps with...
