...influential newspaper Ha'aretz has suddenly become the lunch companion most in demand among Soviet journalists. Around the table, the conversation turns inevitably to the same subject: the chances of resuming diplomatic relations, which were severed by Moscow at the climax of the 1967 Middle East War. To calm Russia's Arab allies, Soviet officials at the United Nations denied last week that any soundings were being made at all.

...fighting was over and the city appeared calm. Police and military remained stationed through the night and today at numerous points within the city. Shortly before midnight Mayor Alfonso Martinez Dominquez, meeting with the press, said that the city was calm and that the government would not permit disorders to continue. Today on street-corners throughout the "Normal" area where the fighting had centered many of the right-wing students lingered without the clubs that they had carried yesterday...
