Deputy Premier Frol Romanovich Kozlov, 50, in the U.S. to open up a Soviet science, technology and culture exhibition in Manhattan (see BUSINESS), accompanied by a group of aides that included the big plane's designer, Andrei Tupolev. After a greeting from Soviet Ambassador Mikhail ("Smiling Mike") Menshikov, Kozlov said in Russian: "I am proud of this opportunity to visit your city and your wonderful country...

Quick and aggressive, he could also be charming and gregarious. Mikhail Stryguine entered the Russian army at 17, fought in the infantry in World War II, became a full colonel at 31, and seemed destined for big things in the Red army. A 1953-55 tour of duty as a liaison officer with U.S. forces in Frankfurt gave him his first look at another kind of life. Assigned as military attache to Rangoon in 1957, Stryguine seemed anxious...
