...agreed last week that the repatriation of prisoners will be discussed by Pakistan and India in high-level talks next week. At the same time, the fate of some 200,000 Bengalis who have been held hostage in Pakistan since the war and want to return to Bangladesh will be negotiated along with the disposition of about 250,000 Biharis in Bangladesh who want to go to Pakistan. Bhutto told TIME that Dacca's intention to try 195 P.O.W.s was still "the main hurdle" to successful negotiations...
These success stories are still distinctly in the minority. The more usual plight of black "start-up" businesses is exemplified by the fate of Robert Musgrove of Chicago.

...fire last Friday, a ban on the infiltration of all new troops and materiel except replacements for those lost by attrition, a repatriation of all captured military and civilian personnel, a return of both Vietnamese forces to positions they occupied in January, and a renewed effort to determine the fate of men missing in action. For its part, the U.S. agreed to end all aerial reconnaissance over North Viet Nam, to resume minesweeping operations in North Vietnamese waters, and to pursue the talks for economic aid to Hanoi...
