...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.

Cleared in advance with all Council members except the Soviet Union, the Lodge resolution passed...
...blessings like beads on a string: $5,000,000 from the Czechs, $7.14 million from the Germans, $10 million from Tito, plus a passel of economic advisers who now virtually manage Ethiopia's economy, and a grand prize of $100 million from the Russians, together with 125 Soviet teachers and technicians already on their way to Ethiopia...
