...Thus it must be remembered that both agreements face many tests. The cease-fire arrangement is only the precondition for reaching a Middle East settlement; the chances for a "just and lasting peace" remain slim. By the same token, only future Soviet actions can tell whether the German-Soviet accord will merely confirm the existing division of Europe or whether, as Chancellor Brandt hopes, it will provide an opportunity to overcome that division gradually. Moreover, other crucial negotiations are still deadlocked. As David Bruce assumed his new post as chief U.S. delegate to the Paris talks, the Communists scorned...
...powerful nations that hold the geographic keys to Europe have at last decided that peace is the only sensible solution. The peril is that the Treaty of Moscow will cause the West to succumb to a false sense of security that could again end in disillusionment. The accord might also tempt the Eastern Europeans to move too far and too fast in seeking accommodation with the West. If that happens, Soviet leaders may decide to reassert the Brezhnev Doctrine-just as they did in Czechoslovakia two years ago. Because of the dismal failure of Soviet-style Communism to develop healthy...
...round of indirect talks. When he saw that he had the trust of both sides, there is a chance that he might have broken the log jam by expressing his own opinion.

Gradually, the two worked out a tentative agreement that included Israeli withdrawal from occupied territories in exchange for an Arab promise of peace throughout the negotiations. Similar talks proceeded simultaneously at the United Nations among the U.S., Russia, Britain and France...
...accord with the rash of egg throwing currently breaking out in England, per "An Eggalitarian Education" [May 18], a fellow student and I took it upon ourselves to test the evidence presented to the public in TIME in order to corroborate the validity of the article. Consequently, we announced to the student body of our small high school that I would throw ten eggs a maximum distance onto the school's luxuriantly soft lawn. Naturally, as this was a sporting event, we could not resist taking a few modest bets from various other students who challenged our claim that...
