...small straw, but straws make the bricks of international agreement, and U.S. officials and newsmen alike grasped at it eagerly. Perhaps too eagerly. Before the week was out, Soviet Party Boss Leonid Brezhnev seemed to be ordering Gromyko back to the freezer when he issued a tough reply to Lyndon Johnson's recent appeal for better East-West relations. "If the U.S. wants to develop mutual relations," snapped Brezhnev, it must "remove the main impediment," which, in his view, is the bombing of North Viet Nam by U.S. aircraft...
While his northern boss was out of town, Loc fired northern doctors from comfortable Saigon jobs, transferred them to clinics in the interior and gave their places to his southern friends. He did not get away with it. On the orders of National Police Commander General Nguyen Ngoc Loan, a northerner, Loc was arrested, and the battle was on. Infuriated at such highhanded treatment, the southern Cabinet ministers demanded that Ky fire his police chief. Ky refused, but attempted to mollify the southerners by accepting the resignation of Health Minister Nguyen Ba Kha. In response, seven of the 26 members...

Before a military court sat a lean little man whose only name was Subandrio. He had been President Sukarno's Foreign Minister, secret-police boss and closest confidant. Last week Subandrio was on trial for his life...
Press v. Privacy. After obscenity, the court faces more redolence: Teamster Boss Jimmy Hoffa's 1963 conviction (eight years, $10,000) for fixing a 1962 Tennessee jury that acquitted him of the charge of taking a bribe from a trucking company. Hoffa protests that the Justice Department's tampering evidence came from a "spy," planted among his entourage, who violated his right to counsel by attending some of Hoffa's conferences with his attorney. Hoffa Lawyer Z. T. Osborn Jr., who got 3½ years for tampering with another Hoffa jury, protests the Government...
