...seven opponents have since lost high office, and five have been sent to oblivion, e.g., Premier Bulganin, pensioned off in Moscow, Molotov exiled to an ambassadorship in Outer Mongolia...
...week also brought the biggest Soviet command shuffle since Khrushchev threw Molotov and Malenkov out of the top leadership three years ago. Handsome, wavy-haired Frol Kozlov, 51, whose flying trip to Washington paved the way for Khrushchev's visit to the U.S. last year, gave up his post as First Deputy Premier to become one of Khrushchev's top party aides.

But Aleksei Kosygin, 56, named First Deputy Premier last week in Kozlov's place, has since won equal apostolic...

Hennings, started off an investigation of juvenile delinquency, with two days of hearings in Manhattan...
...loyalty to superiors brought him the nomination of Stalin's heirs, after Stalin's death, for the party's first secretaryship. Khrushchev's mastery of the party regional machinery enabled him to build the personal power that ousted Stalin's heirs: Georgy Malenkov, Vyacheslav Molotov, Lazar Kaganovich, even the Red army's authentic hero Marshal Zhukov. But Khrushchev's elemental knowledge of the people told him that the Soviet's rising technology needed some freedom from terror, and he set a new course of demote, not destroy; prosper, not starve...
