Burial Plans. It was clear, if it had not been before, that Nikita Khrushchev was a nimble-footed dictator who could skillfully play the cold-war game all the way across the board, from rocket rattling to peace-dove cooing, from the Summit to an all-out economic offensive. "We will bury you,'' he said boisterously in November 1956 at a Moscow reception, and the burial plans are many. And it is equally clear that against Khrushchev's threats the U.S. cannot be satisfied with mere counterprograms to Soviet programs, counterploys to Soviet ploys, counter-propaganda...
...week's end, Comedian Hope was back in the U.S., and demonstrating that the road to Moscow had not taken his eye off U.S. foibles. Announced he: "That summit meeting is definitely going to be held. The problem is, who's going to caddy...
...people is a great and lofty honor that must be repaid. I promise to make every effort to live up to the trust." Pointing with pride to Russia's peace-loving protestations, he viewed with alarm "the stubborn unwillingness of certain Western circles" to agree to a summit meeting at once.

But publicly, he finds it both wise and popular to endorse the idea and blame the U.S. for any delay in its realization.

With even fewer inhibitions, Aneurin Bevan (the likeliest candidate for Foreign Secretary, should Labor come to power) named the name of Britain's favorite scapegoat, accused Secretary of State John Foster Dulles of spurning an important Soviet...
...Britain's Tory government has stood firm in the face of Labor's blasts. Prime Minister Harold Macmillan continues to insist that there would be no point to summit talks without "a hope of definite achievement." Viscount Hailsham, chairman of the Tory Party, was equally unenthusiastic about suspending British H-bomb tests so long as the Russians continue theirs. Said Hailsham: "Within the last week or two, I understand, [the Russians] have exploded devices equal to 3,000,000 tons of high explosives . . . On the assumption that I am right in thinking we are not in front...
