...forces of freedom and justice. Sometimes it flares into easily reportable crisis, sometimes it flickers into seemingly monotonous detail. Last week it took a new turn. Into the U.S. flew a man named Frol Kozlov, little known to the world. He is the Soviet Union's First Deputy Premier, the man who runs the internal affairs of the U.S.S.R. when Khrushchev is away, a key man in the cold war. Not long after he began his remarkable visit, TIME decided that he should be the subject of this week's cover. From that hour on, Frol Kozlov...
...sudden, it seemed, the much-talked-of "peaceful coexistence" was busting out all over. In the U.S.S.R. last week, Pravda displayed a photograph of President Eisenhower and Vice President Nixon in a smiling huddle with First Deputy Premier Frol Kozlov at the opening of the Soviet fair at the New York Coliseum. In the U.S., newspapers showed nine camera-laden U.S. Governors traipsing gaily through Moscow and Leningrad and Kozlov sightseeing around Manhattan with New York's Mayor Robert Wagner. While New Yorkers were jamming into the Coliseum to look over Soviet wares ranging from Sputnik models to calendar...
...would send a stream of weapons to rearm the German army," cried a Tel Aviv newspaper. Israel had contracted to sell 250,000 anti-tank grenade launchers worth $3,300,000 to West Germany's Bundeswehr.

Threatening to resign if he did not get his way, Ben-Gurion defended the deal in this fashion: "I distinguish between the Germany of yesterday and the Germany of today...
Overzealous & Dishonest. But as time went by, a subtle change came over the agricultural pronouncements. Premier Chou En-lai hinted to the National People's Congress that "output for any particular year may be lower than in the previous year." Meanwhile, the kept press began to erupt with nasty comments about local functionaries who had been "overzealous" and even downright dishonest in their estimates of what their farms were yielding. Kwangtung province, for instance, had produced not 34 million tons of grain, as claimed, but only 30. There had been, said the People's Daily, "little...
...Soviet wares in the U.S. since the 1939 New York World's Fair. The Soviet Union spent more than $10 million on the New York show, which touches on nearly every aspect of Russian life from art and ballet to city planning, and sent their First Deputy Premier Frol Koslov (see NATIONAL AFFAIRS) to preside at the opening. The 10,000 exhibits are good, bad and indifferent by U.S. standards; the overall result is a significant study of Russia's position in the world...
