...proposed by the U.S. and the Soviet Union in Geneva last week hardly ranks in importance with 1963's partial nuclear test ban and the nuclear nonproliferation pact of 1968. Nor is it any substitute for the long-delayed strategic arms limitation talk (SALT), which Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko last month promised to consider "soon." Still, like the treaties denuclearizing Antarctica and outer space, the seabed proposal at least offers the hope that one more area may be closed to the arms race...
...arrange peace terms. This puts her at odds with the Nixon Administration, which believes that the Russians-as equippers of the Arabs -must play a part in peace as in war. Thus, when Secretary of State William Rogers met on two occasions last week with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, the Middle East was high on their agenda.

Equally at home in either culture, she founded her own publishing house, Harvill Press, after World War II, then dedicated the rest of her life to introducing the works (many of which she translated herself) of contemporary Russian authors.

Most disappointingly, he gave no definite clue that Russia was finally willing to begin talks with the U.S. on limiting strategic weapons. He even rejected Nixon's proposal to agree immediately to impose an embargo on arms shipments to the Middle East...
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. As it happens, the talks so far have been totally futile. Next week U.S. Secretary of State William Rogers and Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, due in New York for the opening of the U.N. General Assembly, are scheduled to meet to discuss the Middle East. Even if Washington and Moscow were to devise a peace formula, Israel steadfastly refuses to recognize any settlements arranged by outside parties. "Tell Washington that we will never go along...
