Watson named envoy to Soviet Union in first noncareer post
Former IBM head Thomas J. Watson becomes U S ambassador to the Soviet Union replacing Malcolm Toon. He lands in dreary Moscow and is greeted by Dmitri Nikiforov and Western diplomats as he prepares to serve in a sensitive post last filled by a noncare er in the World War II era. Watson, 65, notes a 16 year gap since his last Soviet trip and signals cautious remarks.
