Foreign Minister Abdul Baki flew to Moscow and huddled with Premier Aleksei Kosygin and other Soviet ministers. When the talks ended last week, the Russians and Iraqis had decided to negotiate bilateral economic agreements, but they failed to announce what Iraq wants: an oil deal. In Paris the French Cabinet considered, but did not immediately accept, Iraq's offer of a special arrangement with the French company that is part owner of the oilfields. Beirut newspapers began carrying front-page ads offering Iraqi oil at "realistic and competitive prices...
...After leading the Lakers to the best won-lost record (69-13) in N.B.A. history during the regular season, Chamberlain was nothing short of awesome in the playoffs. In the N.B.A.'s western division title series with Milwaukee, he decisively outplayed basketball's newest giant superstar, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, eleven years his junior. Then, after shuffling uncertainly in the first game of the championship series, Wilt recovered spectacularly to lead the Lakers to a 4 games to 1 victory over the New York Knicks...

Now he has another outstanding giant in redhaired, freckle-faced Bill Walton. A 6-ft. 11-in. 19-year-old, Walton led the Bruins in scoring (24) and rebounding (20) in the final against Florida State but talked afterward as if they had lost...
...months ago, Pakistan's headstrong President Zulfikar Ali Bhutto has learned a few lessons in the art of compromise. Last week he headed off a crisis that could have led to further fragmentation of his country. In an important concession to his chief rival, Pathan Community Leader Khan Abdul Wali Khan, Bhutto announced that he would restore Pakistan to democratic government next August. "The curse of martial law will be buried forever, God willing," he pledged in a radio address...
