Pisar has served as counsel on many trade deals with the East, including the building of Pan Am's Intercontinental hotels in Bucharest and Budapest. He laments the fact that the U.S. lags far behind Western Europe and Japan in opening up trade with the East bloc. Until now, American corporations have been discouraged by the complexity of dealing with the Communists, as well as by criticism at home from stockholders and customers. The Soviets have sought to buy computers from IBM, but so far the company does not seem eager to do much business with them. Henry Ford...
Although the Yugoslav crowds were somewhat less ebullient than were the Rumanians who mobbed Nixon on his visit to Bucharest last year, they responded warmly whenever he got out of his car to mingle with them.

Nixon's brief stay included a working session devoted largely to Middle East affairs, in which top British...
Intellectual jousting has been a way of life for Bickel ever since he came to the U.S. as a 14-year-old immigrant from Bucharest.

High-ranking prelates are now elected to the Rumanian National Assembly. Some members of the Rumanian Communist Party's Central Committee regularly attend Easter services in Bucharest. Clergymen...
Thus when a Bucharest police patrol stopped several teen-agers last week and informed them that their long hair offended public morality, the youngsters sheepishly went along to a police barber who summarily sheared them. Later, when the police got around to examining the boys' documents, they found that one of them happened to be named Nicolae Ceauşescu, 18, student. "Father's profession?" asked the cop. "Oh, he's the secretary of a political party," the boy replied nonchalantly. After profuse apologies from the police, young Ceauşescu assured them that there were...
