...industrialist who governs precariously as France's 19th postwar Premier, slipped in like a silent bystander, unable to speak English, unwilling to say much anyway-lest it offend those back home who were considering him as a candidate for France's next President. At his side was pale, ailing Foreign Minister Georges Bidault.

Then, year by year, in pictures of the Soviet leaders seated at their desks before the Supreme Soviet, his bullet head loomed larger-from a white blur on the packed backbenches to a big, pale face, edging close to Stalin, and now to Malenkov.
