...week of General Ivan Serov, boss of Russia's dread secret police (see FOREIGN NEWS), was in sharp contrast to his discreet entry into India and Burma last December-when TIME first turned a journalistic spotlight on him. During the early part of that tour with Khrushchev and Bulganin, Serov managed to remain always close at hand but as unobtrusive as a plainclothesman. At state functions and banquets he was billed on programs and place cards simply as I. Serov. This meaningful name on the list of the Khrushchev-Bulganin entourage sent TIME'S Russian desk...

Unlike the welcome extended to Bulganin and Khrushchev, Dulles' airport welcome was quiet and formal. Dulles was driven to Nehru's home, where he found the Indian Prime Minister sitting reading a book on the porch.
