...knows whether impetuous Sergo Ordzhonikidze got a chance to raise hell in the Politburo, but he died shortly thereafter. In February 1937 he was buried with great pomp in the Kremlin wall, his flower-decked bier borne by Stalin. Molotov, Voroshilov and other top commissars. It was cautiously given out that he had died of heart failure, but rumor has consistently said since that he was murdered.

When U.S. photographers asked for the usual formal portrait of all the foreign ministers, the Secretary turned it down. He had a narrow escape at the British reception, but managed to get Harold Macmillan between him and Molotov before the shutters clicked...
Amid all of Geneva's disappointments, one solid agreement was reached. Dulles and Molotov, meeting privately, agreed to new membership in the United Nations for 17 nations, four of them Communist. The package deal, in which Britain and France concurred, would break nine years of deadlock and increase U.N. membership from 60 to 77. Russia promised not to veto the West's list: Austria, Cambodia, Ceylon, Finland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Laos, Libya, Nepal, Portugal and Spain. In return, the U.S. would not veto the Russian candidates: Albania, Bulgaria, Hungary and Rumania. The U.S. also, agreed to abstain...
