From the Washington bureau, White House Correspondent Charles Mohr followed President Eisenhower on his trip to Manhattan to welcome Kozlov; Correspondent Mark Sullivan tracked the Russian steadily through public and private functions in Washington; Anne Chamberlin flew to California in the Kozlov plane, persuaded him to answer the first personal biographical questions he had ever answered. The Kozlov story-a narrative of his travels and a portrait of his personality-was written by Jesse Birnbaum and edited by Louis Banks.

La Femme au Chignon is a pre-Blue Period work in which the elongations and winding curves of the Art Nouveau and the flat picture plane and pure colors of Gauguin are employed to render a mood which is Picasso's alone.
