Washington is also annoyed with Israel for waging a vigorous campaign against the U.S.-Russian talks aimed at achieving a proposal for a settlement.

Humphrey's current 13-day tour of the Soviet Union was a wild-boar hunt, for which the old game-bird hunter quite freely admitted that he was unprepared by either instinct or experience. As Humphrey told it, he jokingly brought up the subject with Grechko in Moscow six years ago. "I was just pulling his leg," says H.H.H., but Grechko took him at his word. So off he went to the Defense...
...Even our most rabid enemies have never used such unworthy methods and on such a scale as the Chinese leaders." With those words, Andrei Gromyko last week told the Supreme Soviet of the deepening division between the two former Communist allies. Gromyko had new evidence for his statement. For the fourth time in five months, fighting had erupted along the Sino-Soviet border...
