...they saw the trace of tears in his eyes. But the meaning of Ike's trip went far beyond his personal feeling for Europe, or its feeling for him. In the very shouts and cheers lay a basic acceptance of the President's ability to deal with Nikita Khrushchev during their coming exchange of visits. That acceptance came from the realization of Dwight Eisenhower's achievements and stature as President...

The first was in the 19305; the second was Nikita Khrushchev's drive to open up Kazakhstan's virgin (and barren) land. The newcomers did not mix well with the Uzbeks, Kazakhs and other Moslems, but, largely as a result of their efforts, the land (now divided into five Soviet republics) has made considerable economic strides...
