...disarmament talk seemed even more futile when reports arrived of Nikita Khrushchev's latest speech in Moscow, plainly aimed at supporting Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko and his chief disarmament negotiator, peppery U.N. 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...
...course of his hectic homecoming, Glenn rubbed shoulders with the President, had the Vice President for his constant companion, addressed a joint meeting of Congress, was feted by the United Nations (even habitually dour Russian Ambassador Valerian Zorin congratulated him warmly), and cheerfully endured the affection of celebrities who swarmed around him. But the surest measure of Glenn's apotheosis from man to hero could be found in the millions of Americans who endured chilly rain or crystalline cold to catch a glimpse of him as he rode by-or watched his progress on TV almost as eagerly...
...trying year as U.N. Ambassador, the U.S.'s Adlai Stevenson proved himself effective. No match for Russia's Valerian Zorin in cold-war infighting, and sometimes carried too far by his own eloquence, Stevenson was impressive in the role of the honest, persuasive American liberal upholding the rights of the smaller nations, crying freedom wherever it seemed in danger. Backing him up with coldly intelligent strategic planning was Harlan Cleveland. Assistant Secretary of State in special charge of U.N. affairs. Cleveland sums up the U.S. role in the 16th Assembly thus: "If you make up your mind early...
...Zorin did not sound especially convincing. Many observers noted that Russia's presentation of Red China's case was perfunctory in manner-and yet so excessive in substance that it had no chance whatever of being carried. At the same time, the customary worldwide Moscow propaganda campaign in support of Red Chinese admission was lacking. Plausible conclusion: at the present time, Russia has no real desire to see dogmatic and intransigent Red China standing farther to the left in the U.N. Security Council and throwing its weight around...
