...upshot of the week's business was a Franco-Rumanian pact promising increased scientific and technical cooperation. And that certainly did not please Nikita. No sooner had Maurer flown off to Paris in his special Tarom Airlines Ilyushin 18 than Nikolai Podgorny, Secretary of the Soviet Central Committee and Khrushchev's third-ranking lieutenant, flew in for a daylong fence-mending session with Rumanian Boss Gheorghe Gheorghiu...
...cigars used to be Wall Street's symbol, but today they're the stuff that comrades are made of. Soviet U.N. Delegate Nikolai Fedorenlco, 52, lit up his Empresa Consolidada at a World's Fair luncheon last week, puffed a cloud of smoke at his U.S. counterpart, Adlai Stevenson, 64, and chuckled, "It's a Havana, of course, the best. Revolutionary!" Lately, however, Fedorenko has been indulging in a pretty counterrevolutionary bourgeois-capitalist deviation. In the Security Council, he has been seen chomping American chewing gum; and who knows, if word of that gets back...
...week that had started tensely in the Security Council. There, in two successive meetings, delegates made predictable speeches-U.S. Ambassador Adlai Stevenson and Britain's Sir Patrick Dean calling for swift establishment of a peacekeeping force on the turbulent island, while Russia's Nikolai Fedorenko depicted Cyprus as the innocent victim of a dastardly NATO plot, and Greece's Dimitri Bitsios argued that the island's "very existence" was threatened by invasion from Turkey...
Aside from that snow job, the Russian press allowed only that Castro and Khrushchev were "talking about matters of interest to both parties." Washington's Castrologists had some ideas about what those matters might be. One theory was that Castro's recent talks with Soviet Presidium Member Nikolai Podgorny had ended in a fiasco in Havana, with Podgorny more than a little annoyed because the Cubans didn't seem to know the value of a ruble. Though the Communists are pumping more than $1,000,000 a day into Cuba, the economy is on the verge...
...informative as a spectrogram, which might tell what chemical elements are responsible for the red color. But astronomers are notoriously skeptical about strange eruptions on the moon, and these confirmed reports are unusually convincing. They also tend to bear out 1961 sightings by Russian Astronomer Nikolai Kozyrev. Dr. Hall believes that the fierce heat of returning sunlight may have released gases from the lunar interior. At a Dallas conference on newly discovered astronomical objects last week, Nobel Chemist Dr. Harold Urey suggested that the gas may have contained carbon in the form of two-atom molecules that cannot exist...
