...point was eloquently voiced in the United Nations by Nationalist China's Representative Liu Chieh, in a retort to Soviet Delegate Valerian Zorin. "Weapons," said Liu, "cannot be intrinsically differentiated into good ones and bad ones, but the man who carries the weapons can be easily differentiated. A revolver in the hands of a gangster is not the same thing as a revolver in the top drawrer of a peaceful citizen. Whether a person is a gangster or a peaceful citizen depends on his record. And what a criminal record international Communism has written for itself in recent years...
...Russians could hardly wait to say tyet. When Dean finished, Soviet Negotiator Valerian Zorin read a prepared text that derided the U.S. concessions. The proposal, gibed Zorin, was "just the old American position dolled up in a new guise to deceive the neutrals." The Administration's proposal got more notice at home than it did at the inter national conference table. For the whole question of the U.S. position at Geneva was becoming a political issue. Declared Senate Republican Leader Everett Dirksen: "Hat in hand, the Kennedy Administration sent our negotiators back to Geneva with...
With only a few days to go before the U.S. launches its nuclear test series at Christmas Island, the Russians at Geneva last week continued the game by trying every conceivable stalling tactic to postpone the tests. At the 17-nation disarmament parley, Chief Soviet Delegate Valerian Zorin insisted that the U.S. delay at least until after Easter.

Ambassador Valerian Zorin, in the task of frightening the smaller nations. Again rejecting an inspected test-ban treaty, Khrushchev boasted of a "new" Soviet "global rocket," which "is invulnerable to anti-missile weapons" and makes U.S. radar detection systems useless, since the rockets "can fly around the world in any direction and strike a blow at any set target." This was hardly news, and the U.S. could...
...poets' chief rhetorical opposites (and enemies), who make one wonder if discussion can really be a profitable exercise, delegate to represent them here two famous didactic lcturers. The first, Ambassador Valerian Zorin, explains how U.S. activity in the U.N. has (as is well known) hindered the efforts of peace-loving nations to disarm, to reform U.N. executive machinery, to admit the Chinese People's Republic, and to eliminate colonialism. Not very curiously, the style and tone of the article closely resembles that of Robert C. Hill, who used to be Ambassador to Mexico, and who now quotes from...
