...curtain across the world stage rustled and billowed as the cast of characters began to take their places for the most extraordinary political spectacle of modern times. To New York and the United Nations by slow boat came Nikita Khrushchev, with his gallery of satellite rogues trotting at his heels. One by one the other national leaders, of various hues of dependence and independence-Egypt's Nasser, Yugoslavia's Tito, Indonesia's Sukarno, Cuba's Castro, Ghana's Nkrumah -were due to arrive, all drawn, as was their right, to the General Assembly session where...
Well aware that he might find Nikita Khrushchev elbowing into the declining-prestige-of-the-U.S. argument this week. Kennedy devoted an entire speech in Pikesville. Md. to setting the Russians straight. Said he to Khrushchev: "It has been suggested that your objective is to divide our country in the midst of our election.

...applaud his speeches, second his motions and demonstrate "the unity of the Socialist camp," Nikita Khrushchev brings to New York this week six captive chieftains from the Bleak Lands of Double Think. The men Khrushchev chose to accompany him to the U.N. are the ones who wield real power in Russia's European satellites-though only two hold formal government offices. Of the satellite bosses, only East Germany's Walter Ulbricht is missing: he had to be left behind because his nation does not belong to the U.N. For the West, their arrival is a rare opportunity...
