Continuing Struggle. The forthcoming negotiations, which may get under way later this month, are not likely to be easy. By week's end, Moscow had still made no official reply to Peking's statement, possibly because Communist Party Boss Leonid Brezhnev was off in East Berlin helping Walter Ulbricht celebrate the 20th birthday of his regime. Despite the lack of a reply, Russian sources indicated that their delegation to the talks would be headed by Deputy Foreign Minister Vasily Kuznetsov, a skilled negotiator who was Soviet Ambassador to China from 1953 to 1955, when relations were far warmer...
...weeks ago at Labor's own annual meeting in Brighton. At the Tory conference, one speaker compared Wilson to Richard III, he of the "crooked back" and "evil mind" who rallied his troops and "rode off full of hope to his doom in Bosworth Field." In the end, that fate may befall Edward Richard George Heath, 53, who in five years as the Tories' leader has not yet impressed his own party, much less the British electorate.

With a population of 17 million and an area roughly the same as Tennessee's, East Germany has a gross national product of $31.7 billion. Cameras from the Pentacon works at Dresden compete with Leicas from West Germany. TV sets from East Berlin...
...Treasury agents, aircraft and Coast Guard boats that have been swarming on, over and around the 2,500-mile border since September 21 made only 500 arrests and seized just two tons of marijuana by the end of last week. Yet, if the crackdown did temporarily reduce the annual 1,200-ton flow of "grass" from south of the border -presumably because the serious smugglers just sat it out-it also reduced U.S.-Mexican relations to one of the lowest points in years...
