...Communist side, it was a week of Khrushchev huffing and puffing: now Nikita exulted in the impressive achievements of Cosmonaut Gherman Titov and the Russian scientists who plotted his course; now he brandished the claim of a Soviet bomb equivalent to 100 million tons of TNT; now he scoffed at Western strength ("Gentlemen capitalists, your arms are too short...
Somebody else who had reason to worry was Nikita Khrushchev, who has recurrent nightmares over the prospect of a powerful, prosperous, united Europe as a next-door neighbor.

"He's hypnotized by the idea," said a friend. "He hopes that somehow he might bring back a great concession from Russia which will relax international tension." Last month Fanfani finally got his invitation. Hearing no nays from the Vatican, from his Western allies or from his Christian Democratic political supporters at home, last week he flew to Moscow...
