...reason for Eshkol's restraint, of course, was the knowledge that a good part of the Western world, particularly the U.S. and Great Britain, was working hard behind the scenes to try to avoid hostilities. "Everybody has been talking to everybody," said Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gro-myko-and for once he was right...
...Andrei Antonovich Grechko, 63, Russia's First Deputy Defense Minister, was promoted to Defense Minister to replace Rodion Malinovsky, who died last month of cancer. His appointment abruptly ended speculation that the Kremlin, over army objections, was about to turn the defense ministry over to a civilian.

If they must establish relations, ran the advice, they at least ought to support East Germany in rejecting Bonn's claim to be the sole legitimate representative of the German people. The pleas did not have much effect, and the communiqueé issued at the meeting's end was so bland that...
