The Working White House: President Roosevelt and Vyacheslav M. Molotov
President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Vyacheslav M. Molotov, 1942.
When Vyacheslav M. Molotov, the Soviet Union’s foreign minister, visited President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the White House during wartime in May 1942, he did so surreptitiously, calling himself Mr. Brown. But White House maître d’ Alonzo Fields noticed “the foxy glint” in Molotov’s eye, and saw right through the subterfuge.
