Such a deliberate division of favor is what helps Khrushchev maintain his grip on the Kremlin-and helps prevent a peaceful transition of power in the Soviet dictatorship. In that future contest, some other figures must be reckoned with: Senior Theoretician Mikhail Suslov, 59, who may be too old for the top job, but whose long party career may make him a kingmaker, if not a king; Marshal Rodion Malinovsky, 63, beefy, belligerent Soviet Defense Minister, who controls the army; Aleksandr Shelepin, 43, ex-boss of the relatively sanitized secret police. Dark horses include Andrei Kirilenko, 55, a member...
During his stay in Moscow, Prime Minister Nehru found little cause for optimism, posed dourly with Khrushchev and Mikhail Suslov, Secretary of the Communist Party Central Committee, beneath a statue of Lenin. But at heart, the power struggle between the U.S. and Russia over West Berlin remained basically the same. The U.S. was still completely committed to the city's freedom and to guaranteeing access to it at all times. Russia, exploiting the fear of war, was pursuing a policy by which it hoped to drive the U.S. and the West out of Berlin by weakening the free world...
...Moscow's in-the-know circuit, other somewhat obvious candidates are brusquely dismissed. First Deputy Premier Anastas Mikoyan, 65, the hardy survivor of a dozen plots and purges, is an Armenian.

Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev was earlier kicked upstairs...
...growing favorite in Pravda, official handicap sheet of the Soviet Communist hierarchy: mop-haired Mikhail A. Suslov, 58, party braintruster and veteran member of the Presidium. Three times last week Pravda quoted lengthily from "important" Suslov speeches. Unsurprising contents of all three: fawning eulogies of steady booster Nikita Khrushchev. . . . Wealthy Pasta King Giovanni Buitoni's money is in his tummy, but his heart is really in his throat. The 68-year-old macaroni maker is going into opera, he says, to "fulfill one of my fondest dreams," will sing the basso profundo role of Don Basilic in a charity...
...known to have little enthusiasm for Khrushchev's policy of peaceful coexistence. Four days before his departure for Paris, Communist Party workers assigned to the Red army had assembled in Moscow for a conference at which one of the chief speakers was tousled-haired Marxist Theoretician Mikhail Suslov, who is always billed by Kremlinologists as the leader of the hard line in Russia's ruling Presidium. Marshal Malinovsky had been added to Khrushchev's list of traveling companions only three days before the Paris confrontation. Was he sent along to make sure that Nikita stuck rigidly...
