Future Goals. Both the West and East blocs of nations seem determined to avoid an open clash on human rights -at least at the preliminary meeting. Still, even setting up that October meeting has its pitfalls. The Soviet team of negotiators in Belgrade-headed by Yuli Vorontsov, a sophisticated, tough-minded diplomat-wants to keep the October meeting relatively short, with a fixed "termination date" before Christmas. The obvious aim: to limit discussion on violations of the human rights provisions of the Helsinki accords.

The Murrays and McDonnells were simply not typical Irish-American families--none of Tom Murray's descendants would even look at a blue collar unless it buttoned down and didn't clash with a neatly striped tie. Up in the rarefied atmosphere of the really big money, strange things can happen, even to a family bent on preserving its heritage; and sometimes the Irish rich acted more rich than Irish. Such conditions could never produce a conventional saga of Irish Catholicism...
