...Soviet counterespionage outfit, and at war's end he was so much in Stalin's trust that he was made top security man in the Kremlin. In this role Comrade Kruglov appeared at the Teheran Conference, where he kept close to Stalin's side. He was Molotov's personal bodyguard at San Francisco. He was at Yalta and at Potsdam, where he was introduced to President Truman and received an autographed portrait. Allied newsmen remember his great belly laugh and piercing eyes, noted that he carefully concealed a halting knowledge of English. But for his expertness...
...waterfront in Charleston, S.C., the Russian audience burst into frenzied applause. As the lights went up, many in the audience had tear-stained faces. Shouting and stamping their feet, the crowd gave the cast an 8½-minute ovation.

Clearly we must take it for granted that the Russian leaders will follow the usual lines of political warfare and select their facts to suit their audiences. It is conceivable that Mr. Khrushchev did not realize that the British have for at least two generations ceased...

The Kremlin is deliberately bringing to an end the temporary warm-front toward the West and lunging at the vast, uncommitted softnesses of Asia and the Middle East. Molotov's steely noes at Geneva last month were the sounds of a door closing; the Kremlin was settling for the status quo in Europe...
