...summit" meeting Sept. 27 and 28, at which he will seek ideas from corporate chiefs, private economists, labor and farm leaders -"the total spectrum of American society," as he somewhat grandiosely put it.

With Ankara in clear command of all the territory it apparently wanted, the wheels of diplomacy, which had been stopped by the Aug. 14 breakdown of the Geneva talks, once again began turning. Cyprus President Glafkos Clerides, the Greek leader, flew to Athens to consult with Premier Constantino Caramanlis, while Clerides' opposite number on the Turkish side, Rauf Denktaş, returned from Ankara after similar consultations with Premier Ecevit.

All we wanted was separate geographical zones for the two Cypriot communities. Mavros and Clerides wanted to maintain the status quo. If we had accepted the delay they would have come back with negative replies anyway...
