...developing if still disorganized guerrilla war, Pakistan faces ever bleaker prospects as the conflict spreads. By now, in fact, chances of ever recovering voluntary national unity seem nil. But to Yahya Khan and the other tough West Pakistani generals who rule the world's fifth largest nation, an East-West parting is out of the question. For the sake of Pakistan's unity, Yahya declared last month, "no sacrifice is too great." The unity he envisions, however, might well leave East Pakistan a cringing colony. In an effort to stamp out Bengali culture, even street names are being changed. Shankari...
...that he was actually sacked from his job as party boss late last month, despite East German efforts to make his replacement look like a smooth, amicable turnover. The West German monthly Deutschland Archiv, which specializes in East German affairs, maintains that Ulbricht had been under attack for his economic policies and, more important, had displeased Moscow by obstructing East-West diplomatic initiatives. The last and least plausible theory is that, unhappy with the minor role he had been given at the congress, Ulbricht stayed away on his own; the sulk could have been brought on when Soviet Party Leader...

The Times became the first major paper to pinpoint an ideological split within the ranks of American conservatives when Op-Ed allowed Economist Rothbard, a onetime contributor...

Only a few weeks ago, the Ministers seemed destined to cover routine and well-traveled ground. But suddenly, some long-standing barriers to East-West negotiations have been lowered, however slightly...
...nuclear supernations will remain intact. Widely held ideas that emergent or neutralist nations can "soften" or replace the two-power role have proved illusory, as even India learned when Peking's 1962 strikes across the northern mountains brought Indian pleas for military aid from any quarter. East-West ideological battles are bound to continue, though perhaps in abated form, and so will jockeying for political and military advantage. But the two superpowers will carry on laborious negotiations: the Berlin meetings, the SALT talks and the anticipated discussions of mutual force reductions in Europe are examples. This delicate diplomatic work...
