...weeks ago. The Russians, having lost the better part of their $2 billion, decade-long military investment in the Moslem world, also saw their prestige plummet to an all-time low among the Arab states (see THE WORLD). Determined to recoup their psychological loss at least, Soviet Premier Aleksei Kosygin and his colleagues at this week's emergency meeting of the U.N. General Assembly faced the difficult task of inveighing against a fait accompli-Israel's shattering territorial gains. Backed into that corner, the Soviets might be expected to lash out with bitter denunciation not only of Israel...
Died. Klavdia Kosygin, 58, wife of Soviet Premier Aleksei N. Kosygin who married him in 1924 when Kosygin was a young engineer at a consumers' cooperative in Siberia, later proved considerably different from the usual run of dowdy Kremlin wives as a well-dressed and charmingly talkative (in fluent French) diplomatic asset; of cancer; in Moscow...
Elementary Reciprocity. Despite its ultimate failure, the peace thrust came closer to success than any efforts in the past. Before he boarded his white Ilyushin-18 turboprop last week to end his week-long visit to Britain, Soviet Premier Aleksei Kosygin spent some eight hours conferring with Prime Minister Harold Wilson on Viet Nam.

...Harold Wilson's most frustrating week since last July's sterling crisis - and it was, in fact, a pretty dismal week for British diplomacy in general. Having failed in his peacemaking attempt with Soviet Premier Aleksei Kosygin, Wilson flew off to Bonn with Foreign Secretary George Brown on what appeared to be a much simpler task: to try to persuade the West Germans to help Britain gain entry to the European Common Market. Since the West Germans already are on record as favoring British entry, Wilson hoped that he could induce Chancellor Kurt Georg Kiesinger and his colleagues...
There were talks of substance, but the substance was far overshadowed by the socializing. Kosygin, who was accompanied by his daughter, Mrs. Liudmila Gvishiani, 38, and his 19-yearold grandson Aleksei, took the entire first floor at Claridge's, from whose haughty marquee flew the hammer and sickle. He dined at 10 Downing Street with Prime Minister Wilson, who welcomed him as "an old friend, a statesman I personally know to be cool and wise in his judgment, warm in his heart." He met with Britain's top capitalists at the Hyde Park Hotel, mingled with the likes...
