...OTHER NEUTRALS-including Sweden, Switzerland, Austria-are publicly enthusiastic about détente, but in private they are extremely cautious. They realize that their neutrality would be endangered in a Europe that did not have U.S. power to offset Soviet military strength. "Do you know what MBFR stands for?" a Scandinavian diplomat asked TIME Correspondent David Tinnin in Helsinki last week. Before Tinnin could answer, the diplomat replied, "It means more benefits for the Russians...
...Kennedy was cautious about saying who is fit to lead the party out of its current wilderness. He plans to keep his profile as low as possible as long as possible. "I'm not thinking in terms of 1976 and myself at all," he declared. From his perspective, that is sound strategy.

Signs of a cautious return to wider literary interests than poetry praising Mao or socially conscious tractor drivers did appear last year with the republication of Western classics like Thucydides and such traditional Chinese novels as The Dream of the Red Chamber and Monkey.

By 1945 he had been appointed to the Central Committee, and in 1949 was sent to South Viet Nam as the second man in charge of reorganizing Communist political and military activities. His superior was Le Duan...
Thompson's managers are also extremely cautious about charting new directions. Chairman Dan Seymour, 58, who earns $176,000 a year, is a natty, silver-haired executive who joined the agency in 1955 as chief of broadcast-time buying. A former radio announcer, he still speaks in the sepulchral tones that he used for Duffy's Tavern and other shows. Seymour is a prudent man who is fond of saying things like "Every breeze is not a wind of change." Despite Thompson's problems, Seymour insists, the agency is "now back on the track...
