...arrangements were pure Mao dynasty. All 19 excursionists were carefully chosen on the basis of docility: reporters from Pravda, Tass, Poland's Trybuna Ludu, North Korean news agencies, Britain's Red Sheep Alan Winnington (the London Daily Worker), along with Author Anna Louise Strong, doyenne of U.S. Red-liners, who was accused by the Kremlin in 1949 of working against Communism-an error for which Moscow later abjectly apologized. (For the Tibetan junket an oxygen tent was taken along for 74-year-old Journalist Strong, but the heady political climate of captive Tibet made it unnecessary...
Chairman of the Committee of Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries Georgy Zhukov, 51, is a dandified Ukrainian who worked as Pravda foreign correspondent in France and Geneva after World War II; his influence has risen since 1957 by dint of his handling of the people-to-people exchange program; he was the top Soviet official with the Nixon party during much of the Vice President's trip. A harder-line Communist pressagent is Leonid llyichev, fiftyish, head of the agitprop organization set up to indoctrinate worldwide Communist parties, who as Soviet Foreign Office press briefing officer from...
Pavel Satyukov, editor of Pravda (circ. 5,500,000), is an unknown who puts out perhaps the dullest newspaper in the world. Izvestia (circ. 1,800,000) Editor Aleksei Adzhubei, 35, is very well known indeed, partly because he is Khrushchev's son-in-law.

Author Mikhail Sholokhov, 54, is a devout Bolshevik who fought the White Guards...
...Minister Ngon Sananikone, to New York to put Laos' case before U.N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold. Peking promptly huffed that "serious consequences" would follow if the U.N. sent observers to Laos, and held secret conferences in Peking with North Viet Nam Boss Ho Chi Minh. Moscow's Pravda blamed all the trouble on the U.S., and said that the Laotian government is pushing the country to "the abyss of civil war" by a policy of "terror and savage reprisals against the patriotic forces...
...judge by his treatment in the mercurial British press, Adenauer was right in his fear of being isolated as a peace disturber just because he warned against the "artificial euphoria" that might result from Khrushchev's visit. The London press attacked him in the same vein as Pravda does. "This man is dangerous," huffed Lord Beaverbrook's Daily Express. "The policy of Dr. Adenauer would lead to war." To Lord Rothermere's Daily Mail, "the self-important old chancellor" was reminiscent of "a bullfrog who puffed himself up until he burst...
