...Nikita Khrushchev may not have amused anybody else with his table-thumping and shoe-pulling at the U.N. last fall, but he obviously enjoyed himself hugely. Last week, as his own summit meeting in Moscow of the world's Communist leaders broke up in guarded politeness, Nikita Khrushchev announced that he would like to come back to Manhattan next spring and have all the world's leaders come too. After a state visit from Cambodia's amiably neutralist Premier Prince Norodom Sihanouk, Khrushchev put his signature to a declaration that Russia and Cambodia "regard as advisable...

But in mouth, nose...
...Moscow's Vnukovo airport, the well-padded commissars of the Kremlin whizzed back and forth last week like commuting suburbanites. Day after day they rode in portly twosomes to welcome the Communist bosses of ten satellites. One afternoon, a round dozen of them wheeled out, led by rotund Nikita Khrushchev, to greet the guest of honor, China's lean, scowling chief of state, Liu Shao-chi, 62. The presence of Liu and other rulers of Communist states barred from the U.N., as well as Communist Party chieftains from all around the world, made Moscow's gathering...
