...Then Mikhail Alekseevich Menshikov, 55, new U.S.S.R. Ambassador to the U.S. and first U.S.S.R. ambassador to address the Press Club since Litvinov did it in 1941, got down to the nub of his mission. "If our countries not only normalize their relations but start to live in friendship, their combined efforts will help to clear the atmosphere on our whole planet." The gimmick: a parley at the summit. "The very fact of convening such a conference will have a beneficial influence...
Already the U.S.S.R.'s gregarious new Ambassador to the U.S. Mikhail Menshikov, making his rounds of visits from the White House to Capitol Hill, was making headlines with meaningless proposals for a U.S.-U.S.S.R. friendship pact as a step toward "peace on our planet...
Unerasable Smile. The caller was Mikhail Alekseevich Menshikov, Russia's new ambassador to the U.S. A foreign-trade specialist who persuasively sold the Soviet trade-plus-aid approach as ambassador to India, Envoy Menshikov, 55, is conspicuously suited to the Kremlin's peaceful-coexistence line.

Pavlov, onetime Soviet embassy official in Ottawa; ex-United Nations employee Mikhail Svirin; Aleksandr Mikhailovich Korotkov. For nine years Colonel Abel and his fellow spies played a deadly serious melodrama. They met at prearranged rendezvous, e.g., Manhattan's Tavern-on-the Green and a Newark railroad station, and exchanged or left messages and microfilmed documents, tapped in on telephone lines to make untraceable calls. They banked...
Across the Black Sea, through the Dardanelles, and into the Mediterranean last week moved a big Soviet floating drydock, the second in a month. Likely destination: satellite Albania, Soviet Communism's only Mediterranean base. Last month a Soviet cruiser, the Mikhail Kutuzov, so new that it is unlisted in the 1957 edition of the authoritative Jane's Fighting Ships, passed through the Dardanelles under escort of three destroyers. Earlier, three Soviet submarines entered the Mediterranean by way of Gibraltar (and were turned over to Egypt). Russia was telling the world that Mare Nostrum means Russia...
