...mile tour was Syria, which Kissinger also visited briefly before returning to Washington last week. Both men went to Damascus to investigate the prospects of a disengagement agreement between Syria and Israel along the Golan Heights. U.S. diplomats are not notably optimistic about achieving a speedy accord. For one thing, the territory involved is smaller than that in the Egyptian-Israeli negotiations, and thus there is little elasticity in either position. Israel, which has long insisted that it has to hold the Heights to protect kibbutzim in Israeli territory below from Syrian shelling, also demands a list of P.O.W.s captured...
Almost a year has passed since the Paris agreement brought an end to the U.S. fighting role in South Viet Nam, and last week the chief architects of the accord met again to review the current state of their handiwork. Taking time off from his frantic efforts to find peace in the Middle East, U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger stopped by in Paris to confer with his partner in this year's Nobel Peace Prize, North Vietnamese Politburo Member Le Due Tho.* Later, a U.S. spokesman said that the 4½-hour meeting at the Hotel Majestic...
Correspondents George Taber and Roger Beardwood, Jobert argued that the superpower detente, which he referred to as "a condominium," was different from the kind of accord achieved by such lesser powers as France or West Germany.

"The agreement of June 22 put the seal on what had been prepared for a long time ... a kind of modus vivendi in the management of world affairs between the U.S. and the Soviet Union in their...
Jobert's interpretation of this accord-that the U.S. was committed to give first priority to consultation with Moscow in any crisis-triggered his (and Pompidou's) decision to launch a public discussion of a common European defense outside the framework of NATO. "NATO is not European. It is European and American and Canadian-in short, Atlantic." Instead, Jobert wants European defense organized within the Western European Union, an organization he describes as "more flexible and exclusively European...
...publication of the accord was approved by both Pope Paul VI and the Archbishop of Canterbury. But the commission's Anglican and Roman Catholic chairmen were careful to point out that the document was only "an agreed statement of the commission and nothing more." Any action to increase ecumenical exchange between Anglicans and Catholics will have to come from the hierarchies of the two communions. Moreover, there is still a major stumbling block: the Roman Catholic doctrine of the infallibility and primacy of the Pope...
