Liaison Man. In the roster of Soviet eminence, Bulganin until recently took a back seat, not only to the party bosses, Khrushchev and Malenkov and Kaganovich, and the government officials, Molotov and Mikoyan, but even, in some respects, to his subordinate: Hero of the Soviet Union Georgy Zhukov. Bulganin learned self-effacement in the hardest school of all: Joseph Stalin's, where self-effacement was often the price of survival.

Flashing a toothy smile from under his grey mustache, Molotov deported himself like anybody's lovable old maiden aunt, exuding good will and sedate good humor. When his eastbound train reached Utah, he was handed a security-cleared "Military Map of the U.S.," showing key military installations as of 1953 and bearing printed regrets that censorship prevented inclusion of newer facilities. Arriving in Chicago, Tourist Molotov was greeted by a band of grim...
