...Russia's Delegate Semyon Tsarapkin was blasting away with an unacceptable proposal. Russia wanted an agreement to stop tests 1) forever. 2) right now, with talks about inspection later. And at the United Nations, Russia's Ambassador Valerian Zorin cast further doubt on Russian intentions by saying that Russia intended to keep on testing until it reached rough parity with the U.S. and Britain...
...conference unless the West agreed beforehand to stop its tests, but when soft-spoken James B. Fisk, executive vice president of Bell Telephone Laboratories, announced that the U.S. would show up anyway, the Communists decided to let their scientists go too. One of Gromyko's top aides, Semyon Tsarapkin, kept a beady eye on things, but the top Soviet scientist, jovial Evgeny Fedorov, turned out on occasion to be freer to make decisions without consulting home than the Westerners (including scientists from Britain, France and Canada). After seven weeks' discussion, the scientists had settled on the value...
...winners (see color page), unanimously chosen by a three-man jury:* first prize ($1,500), Manhattan Abstractionist John Ferren, 52, for his The Birches; second ($750), Social Realist Semyon Shimin, 55, for his Discussion Groups-Rome, sketched in Rome during the 1956 elections but finished in Manhattan; and third ($250), Milton Goldring, 40, also a New Yorker, for his Shadow and Substance.

Tsarapkin, a professional cold-war curmudgeon and former Soviet United Nations delegate with a reputation for tirades against the West, the first private sessions were encouraging-not for the agreements reached but for the politics avoided. The delegates started exchanging papers that covered such "secret" ground that it was decided that not even their titles could be disclosed...
Gromyko wrapped up the deal by naming an eight-man delegation of Soviet scientists that ranged from Sputnik Authority Evgeny Federov through Nobel Prizewinning Chemist Nikolai Semenov to nonscientific Semyon K. Tsarapkin, one of Gromyko's oldtime U.N. scowlers. They will meet with the British and French delegates and the U.S. trio, composed of University of California Physicist Ernest O. Lawrence, Bell Telephone Laboratories' Executive Vice President James Fisk and Caltech Physicist Robert Bacher...
