...after Nikita Khrushchev was anointed Premier and dictator nonpareil of the Soviet Union (see FOREIGN NEWS), he was back in business at the same old cold-war propaganda stand, ready with another thick slice for all comers, especially the U.S. Ignoring the fact that Russia had just completed a smashing series of nuclear tests, Khrushchev's government protested the U.S. tests scheduled for April through August in the Marshall Islands...
Burial Plans. It was clear, if it had not been before, that Nikita Khrushchev was a nimble-footed dictator who could skillfully play the cold-war game all the way across the board, from rocket rattling to peace-dove cooing, from the Summit to an all-out economic offensive.

"The Soviet people are a people of champions, a trail-blazing people," he proclaimed. "The trust of such a people is a great and lofty honor that must be repaid. I promise to make every effort to live up to the trust." Pointing with pride to Russia's peace-loving protestations, he viewed with alarm "the stubborn unwillingness of certain Western circles" to agree to a summit meeting at once. Khrushchev praised the "immense...
