...probably should have been anticipated that the practitioners of such a vital art form would finally do what they did last week and proclaim several days before Jimmy Carter left for Germany that the Bonn economic summit was, in effect, over-and it was a washout.

"I pleaded with them not to go, to think for God's sake of their parents. But in every single case it had no effect whatsoever."
