...German life. Gate saw to it that TIME had a correspondent at the treaty signing in Moscow. Gisela Bolte flew with Brandt to the Soviet capital, where she reported every development from Brandt's conversation with Party Boss Leonid Brezhnev to the state dinner hosted by Premier Aleksei Kosygin...
...reconciliation with their bitterest European enemy, they chose St. Catherine's as the setting. As millions of Europeans, both East and West, watched on television, West German Chancellor Willy Brandt stepped into the hall, past icons depicting St. Catherine holding a cross.

Crowds lining the Soviet Premier's parade route were perhaps one-tenth the size of the ones that welcomed President Nixon to Bucharest last year. Ceausescu stayed away from the formal events, including his own government's official reception and the treaty signing. He entertained Kosygin at one luncheon and spent three hours in private talks...
