Seven foreign ministers, the largest number ever to attend a U.N. Security Council meeting, turned up in New York last week to debate the Suez crisis. Russia's bulky Dmitry Shepilov, jutting tall above his clump of Soviet assistants, moved about with a big smile and gladhand. Belgium's Paul Henri Spaak popped cherubically into place. The U.S.'s John Foster Dulles, arriving at the last moment, moved coldly past Shepilov to shake the hand of France's moon-faced Christian Pineau. For the instigators of the session, Great Britain and France, Britain's Selwyn...
...Beirut not long ago, John Scott of the publisher's office asked Lebanon's President Camille Chamoun what were the prerequisites for Arab-Israeli peace. The President frowned and said that Soviet Foreign Minister Dmitry Shepilov had somewhat absently asked the same question that very morning before he began to talk of trade in dried fruits. Sometimes he wondered, Chamoun added with a touch of bitterness, if the East or West really wanted stability in the Middle East. Later, at Amritsar in the Punjab, Scott faced an audience of bearded Sikhs and smooth-jowled Indian businessmen who bombarded...
After the last round of talks in Moscow (TIME, Aug. 13), when Russian Foreign Minister Dmitry Shepilov brusquely refused to consider a treaty which would return to Japan the small southern Kuril islands of Kunashiri and Etorofu, the Japanese public burst into irate criticism of Hatoyama and his government.

Worst of all, leaders...
Voice of the Past. Shepilov to the end attacked Dulles' proposals as "an effort to reimpose colonialism on Egypt," and held out against an innocuous Indonesian proposal for a closing communique, thus managing to alienate even his associates in opposition. Conceivably some of Shepilov's tactics were the result of diplomatic inexperience, and they hurt him with fellow diplomats who found him, at least as a table companion, infinitely preferable to his predecessor, "Stony Bottom" Molotov. Shepilov displayed a greater Soviet interest in exploiting the naked political possibilities of trouble than in solving the problem that had brought...
...Five Trappists. Over the monotonous objections of Shepilov. the majority appointed a five-nation committee (Australia, Sweden, Ethiopia. Iran, the U.S.) to take its proposals to Nasser. Thus the conference ended on a note of suspense. Australia's Prime Minister Robert Menzies was named chairman. Deputy Undersecretary of State Loy Henderson the U.S. representative. Menzies, who earlier in the week had been riding to conference sessions with a TV set in his limousine so as not to miss a minute of the Australia v. England cricket matches, pronounced his committee's task so delicate that "we should...
