Until the story broke through the blackout, coverage of Polish events was dominated by TIME'S Bonn bureau, which relied heavily on its network of contacts in Stockholm, Vienna and Eastern Europe to funnel in information. Bureau Chief Roland Flamini, having returned from Poland four days before the crackdown, had an advantage in evaluating the scene and the fragments of data seeping in. Flamini had visited Katowice, the mining center where many of last week's clashes occurred, talked with Polish Archbishop Jozef Glemp and shared a journey from Gdansk to Warsaw, and a cup of tea, with...
...Schmidt government, in its pursuit of Ostpolitik, is anxious to resume negotiations with East Germany, in the hope of easing ultra-German relations and perhaps achieving a larger measure of detente between East and West. Bonn's long-range concerns have already produced windfalls for the East, which reaps benefits from credits, deutsche marks and other hard currency from the West.

Haig also had to rein in Weinberger when he announced, without consulting NATO leaders, that the Administration was planning to produce neutron warheads for eventual deployment in Europe. Haig promised the allies there would...
...Bonn, Kvitsinsky came across as outspoken, unyielding and yet not dogmatic. "He always takes the Soviet line, but he doesn't talk ideology," one fellow diplomat observes. "After a while you even get to like him." That will not make him easy to deal with. Warns a Soviet colleague: "If you compare his age with Nitze's, you will see who has more time to sit and talk in Geneva...
