...Vnukovo airport, the well-padded commissars of the Kremlin whizzed back and forth last week like commuting suburbanites. Day after day they rode in portly twosomes to welcome the Communist bosses of ten satellites. One afternoon, a round dozen of them wheeled out, led by rotund Nikita Khrushchev, to greet the guest of honor, China's lean, scowling chief of state, Liu Shao-chi, 62. The presence of Liu and other rulers of Communist states barred from the U.N., as well as Communist Party chieftains from all around the world, made Moscow's gathering the biggest assemblage...
Towering a half-foot above his tall son, Herbert Pell was rushed by reporters and commentators before he was able to greet the Senator-elect. "I have run for public office and have handled campaigns," said the former political manager for Al Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt, "but no campaign in which I was interested has given me anything like the pleasure and happiness I have now." A reporter wanted to know whether the Ambassador helped out his son's campaign. "I certainly did," Pell snapped back. His newly-elected son and the party campaign managers, who were mindful that...

But like the good soldier of socialism he is, Khrushchev made light of his burdens: "We knew the American Government was not going to greet us with bread and salt. We understood when we went to New York that we would not be going to our mother-in-law to eat pancakes but to work...
...quandary in dealing with neutrals (see box). U.S. Assistant Secretary of State J. Graham Parsons flew into the Laotian capital and was met by a single protocol officer and a handful of U.S. newsmen. Next day, Soviet Ambassador Aleksandr Abramov stepped from his plane to be greeted by a U.S.-trained honor guard and a line of kneeling girls in sarongs who offered him silver bowls heaped with flowers. Also amiably on hand to greet the Russian: slim Captain Kong Le, Laos' current hero, whose military coup in August overturned the pro-Western government and brought to power neutralist...
