Under the agreement, martial law will end on Aug. 14, the 25th anniversary of Pakistan's independence. On that day, the National Assembly that was elected in December 1970-minus, of course, its 169 East Bengali members-will be convened in Islamabad to draft a permanent constitution. In the meantime, Wali Khan's pro-Soviet National Awami Party will form governments in Baluchistan and Northwest Frontier. Bhutto's Pakistan People's Party, which has a 96-seat majority in the 145-member Assembly, will run the other two provinces, Punjab and Sind, as well...

That same afternoon, a black man walked into Alexander's Rent-A-Car agency, six blocks away, and stole $600. He rode off in a 1965 blue Mustang, which had been waiting with a driver at the wheel...
...absence from Washington less visible. To minimize the effects of the time lag, Kissinger kept his watch set on Washington time. Several of his trips were timed, perhaps only coincidentally, with big news events that diverted the attention of the White House press corps, such as one on Aug. 15, when Nixon announced the wage-price freeze...
