...goal that became known as "linkage" has turned out to be more difficult to achieve than he thought. Nixon hoped to calm the Middle East by working with the Soviets, but last week he admitted: "I see very little defusing."

Nixon wanted Moscow to help him get a settlement in Viet Nam by applying pressure on the North Vietnamese.

Cruising on a calm and brightly moonlit South China Sea last week during the naval exercise, the 16,000-ton Melbourne ripped into the U.S.S. Frank E. Evans, a 24-year-old, 2,200-ton American destroyer. Within five to six minutes, the bow of the bisected Evans sank in 5,500 feet of water; 74 of her 273-man crew were lost. Among the missing were three brothers, Gary, Gregory and Kelly Sage of Niobrara, Neb. Their deaths constituted the worst Navy family tragedy since the five Sullivan brothers perished aboard U.S.S.
