...another Swiss meeting, Kissinger sought Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko's support in maintaining the Middle East momentum. Kissinger's suggestion that the Russians back off from their persistent demands to reopen the Geneva conference was more or less rebuffed. Gromyko was more interested in other discussions on SALT, U.S.Soviet trade, the European Security Conference, and Party Chief Leonid Brezhnev's visit to Washington next summer. On Geneva, however, the two could agree only that the conference should reconvene "at an early date." In the involved semantics of diplomacy, Kissinger's aides insisted, it signaled that...
...cutoff of U.S. military aid (TIME, Feb. 17). Moreover, the confrontation came just as U.S. relations with Athens were on the mend. Said George Mavros, chief opposition leader in the Greek Parliament: "It's unprecedented. I blame [Secretary of State Henry] Kissinger, and I blame [Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei] Gromyko. They have been talking about stability and peace and a fair solution on Cyprus. What do we have tonight? The eastern Mediterranean in a shambles." A senior American naval officer concurred: "The entire American posture is in disarray. If we suddenly found that we were involved in any kind...
This week, as Kissinger departed for a scheduled sixth trip to Israel, Egypt, Syria, Jordan and Saudi Arabia, there were worries that this might be the last chance for his step-by-step approach.

Syrian President Hafez Assad, the most unbending leader of the Arab confrontation powers, supports that preference. Egyptian President Anwar Sadat still has hopes that Kissinger can achieve further progress; nonetheless, the joint Egyptian-Soviet communiqué issued after Gromyko...
...Soviets will send Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko to Cairo, Damascus and Baghdad before Kissinger's visit. These are the three Arab capitals that Party Chief Leonid Brezhnev was to visit before he pleaded illness (TIME, Jan. 13). The Soviets are uncomfortably aware that, with French arms and Saudi Arabian subsidies, Sadat is now less dependent on Moscow. As a result, diplomats speculate that Gromyko might ease up on previous Russian demands that talks be shifted to Geneva...
...Seven Days of Creation arrives with good intentions stamped all over it. Originally published in Germany in 1971 (and still banned in the Soviet Union), the book is a loose recounting of 20th century Russian history seen through the eyes of three aging brothers. Pyotr and Andrei Lashkov have become provincial Communist Party functionaries, while Vasilii acts as a morose janitor for a Moscow apartment house. All are profoundly disillusioned by the course their lives and land have taken. For them, the glorious future promised by the Revolution is not working, and Pyotr wonders...
