...historian writes, "War's end seemed to have decided only who was to make the peace, a wrangling between victors." In America there was wrangling, between capital and labor, Democrats and Republicans, Molotov and Byrnes, men and women, even clashes between gridmen of Harvard and Yale. As the result of "domestic bungling" the American table, as sacred as the Constitution, was affected. A meat-loving people was offered the horse. Schlesinger said this was termed the affront which caused "rebellion in the hearts of men." Kentucky threatened secession when steaks were carved from...
Russian diplomats have abandoned their air of cool, almost hostile, detachment. They have shed the mantle of impeccable, uncompromising, righteousness, and have tried to cultivate the "common touch." Andrei Gromyko's boyish face was photographed at baseball games and heavyweight prize fights. Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov unpacked his broadest, heart-warming smile for the trip to New York aboard the Queen Elizabeth and accepted an opportunity to garner favorable publicity in the best American campaign tradition by taking a brief turn at the helm of the giant liner.

Both Stalin and Molotov are anxious for all the major powers to reveal the strength of their forces...
Furthermore, the Soviets are still apprehensive of the influence of imperialists in England and America as is evidenced by Molotov's denunciation of Churchill and Baruch as prophets of aggression. Perhaps it is this same justifiable fear which has, at least partially, motivated Molotov's plea for international disarmament. Regardless of the reasons for this first Russian proposal for disarmament since the one made by Maxim Litvinoff before the League of Nations in 1927, if it is made seriously and in good faith, it can do more than anything else to convince the world of Russia's peaceful intentions...
Kiselev's long speech was regarded as a preview of the line that Vyacheslav Molotov, Russian foreign minister and chief delegate, will take tomorrow in his address to the Assembly. Molotov was in the hall as Kiselev spoke, making his third visit to the assembly since the sessions began last Wednesday...
