...probably the first time that any Soviet envoy had so formally attacked the policies of the other Communist giant. Behind Tsarapkin's words was a warning: any further tightening of the profitable West German-Chinese trade links would be most unwelcome to the Russians. In Paris, Rome and Tokyo, Tsarapkin's colleagues were giving the French, Italian and Japanese Foreign Ministers roughly the same message. In Ottawa, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau also got the word.

...Willy-Nilly. "We want to converse," the retired general said somewhat nervously, standing in khaki army uniform behind his desk. Velasco praised the U.S. as "a just nation" and suggested that "immoral companies" were the real barrier keeping the two countries apart. How would the spread be resolved, he was asked, between the $120 million that the IPC is asking for its expropriated properties and the $54 million that Peru up to now has been prepared to pay? "Courtappointed appraisers will decide what the property is worth." Was the $690 million that Peru insists it is owed by IPC subject...
