...Security Council to convene, but Kissinger was unable to build a consensus among the permanent members of the Council-or the warring parties-for a resolution aimed at stopping the fighting. As the week passed without significant progress, Kissinger was obliged to cancel a quick trip to London and Bonn; like détente, "the Year of Europe" remains one of his highest priorities, but for the moment it will have to wait...
