...there is little possibility that a summit can achieve much beyond the formal signing of SALT II. Said a senior Western diplomat in Moscow: "Brezhnev could attend a couple of dinners and read a paper or two, but he is in no shape to engage in real give-and-take with Carter. It will be a pro forma summit, and it would be useless to expect anything more." Though signing a SALT agreement would be very important, Carter is disappointed at the lack of prospects for going further. Said a top White House adviser: "The President really wanted...
Undaunted by the array of difficulties confronting him, Carter plunged into his most active week since his diplomatic triumph in the Middle East. Carrying out a promise to Israel's Premier Menachem Begin, he went to the rotunda of the Capitol to attend a solemn ceremony in remembrance of the victims of the Nazi Holocaust. As former Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg wept openly, the President declared that it was fitting to "remember the terrible price paid for bigotry and hatred and also the terrible price paid for indifference and for silence." Carter said that he had vowed...
Topeka's blacks, 16% of a 17,000 total student population, are concentrated in schools on the eastern side of the city. Topeka has no mandatory busing for school integration; students are allowed to attend any school they choose.

The new Tory Foreign Secretary, Lord Carrington, has been notably cautious on the subject of Rhodesian recognition in recent statements. Even the slightest hint of British softening, however, could put Carter in a terrible position by encouraging recognition moves in Congress and threatening to leave his African policy in ruins...
...nearly 30 years a Jainist muni, or monk, Chitrabhanu was a spiritual leader for nearly four million Jainists in India. Forsaking his monastic vows, he broke a 2500-year-old tradition by leaving India in 1970 to attend spiritual summit conferences in Geneva and in 1971 at the Divinity School. Faced with fast-paced technologically-oriented lives, Westerners were thirsting for the rest and calmness of the East, Chitrabhanu says: "If they take the time to understand the inside life as they have understood the phenomena of the outside, it will be a blessing for mankind." It is just this...
