...satellites, was in an unusual position. His was the line that the U.S. was blocking world peace. Yet, in the strangely relaxed and friendly atmosphere of the guarded mountain retreat, Dwight Eisenhower, determinedly serious, was pinning him down to the specific issue of Berlin as the major threat to peace. Again and again the President refused to be led down the semantic path to a discussion of such generalities as disarmament and trade. Again and again he brought the conversation back to the Russian threat to Berlin, until, on the third day, he got Khrushchev to agree to a removal...
...image of the emissary of the great Soviet people as he rocketed about the U.S. last week indeed pictured a change. The cymbal clashings of threat and arrogance that Nikita Khrushchev produced earlier in Washington, New York and Los Angeles had only evoked the hostility that the U.S. felt was due the top Communist boss anyway. But after Los Angeles (TIME, Sept. 28) things changed. San Francisco was friendly and Conductor Khrushchev brought up his muted strings.

Three Times a Day. At week's end the Assembly was busy probing the threat of nuclear war. Politely but firmly, the U.N. orators made clear that they were not interested in the kind of general disarmament proposed by Nikita Khrushchev fortnight ago (TIME, Sept. 28), unless it was accompanied by controls. "The hard fact," said Norway's Halvard Lange, "seems to be that no government feels it can take the responsibility for starting on the road to disarmament unless it can feel assured, on the basis of an effective control system, that the security of its country...
