...will lay Grotius to rest without ceremony. In a global game of give-and-take, each delegation has the same goal: to give as little and seize and enclose as much as possible. The scene in Caracas is one of almost Byzantine intrigue. Africans in flowing robes, Chinese in crisp gray tunics, Indians in Nehru jackets, Western diplomats in stern gray suits-all huddle in the maze of meeting rooms, trying to align dreams, schemes and means...

The Wall Street Journal showed the split that often rends its front-page staff from its editorial-page staff. For three days the Journal ran Page One "leaders" that contained crisp summaries of the transcripts and interpretations critical of Nixon. But its editorial page was more cautious. One editorial concluded: "The President will not be impeached...
