...Party Presidium in a crucial power struggle. As befitted a low-ranking delegate to the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna, Molotov stood at the station in a crowd of Soviet women and children. "We must get together," said Khrushchev, unabashed, as he reached out to shake Molotov's plump hand. Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, who had been Molotov's underling for years, blinked in the bright sun and smiled a frozen smile. "Nice weather we're having," he said...
