With the new Administration, the U.S. will have an opportunity for new diplomatic beginnings. Ever since Nixon's special envoy, former Pennsylvania Governor William Scranton, toured the Middle East last month and called for a "more evenhanded" policy, the Arabs have been encouraged, rightly or wrongly, to hope for new understanding from the U.S. Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser wired Christmas greetings to Nixon, a gesture that he never accorded President Johnson, and there is widespread expectation that diplomatic relations with the U.S., broken off by Nasser during the Six-Day War, will be restored shortly after Inauguration...

WHEN talks begin, Americans looking among the Vietnamese negotiators for ascetic Hanoi heroes in the mold of Ho Chi Minh will be surprised by Mai Van Bo, the round-faced scholar who represents North Viet Nam in France. In his years as Hanoi's best-known envoy to the West, Bo has grown grey, stylish and somewhat stout on the haute cuisine of hostesses delighted by his foxy charm and affable wit. Hanoi watchers are convinced that Bo is kept in the know by his government. Three weeks ago, his henchmen were already murmuring that "we are prepared...
