...been signed, sealed and delivered. In an informal sense, it had. The images of Nixon's tour would remain for a long time. People folded away newspaper clippings showing a smiling Nixon with Rumanian shoppers and folk dancers (see color). They held onto the miniature U.S. flags handed out for the President's reception. Well into the week, at least one Bucharest shopwindow was still decorated with a homemade U.S. flag and pictures of the Apollo astronauts...

The Greeks set up shop wherever they can do business, in London, Manhattan, Lausanne or Beirut.

In the classic Western, the main character searches for a long-gone past; in Easy Rider America searches for itself...
...Secretary-General U Thant just three weeks before, that the observers had become "defenseless targets in a shooting gallery." The observer corps is composed mainly of army officers from seven countries. The men live nine days at a stretch in concrete-reinforced bunkers, marked by a U.N. flag and bearing multilingual code names like Charlie, Delta, Kilo, Lima and Mike on the Egyptian side. On the Israeli side, the posts are named for colors. Neither combatant is supposed to locate weapons within 43 yards of the posts, but that rule is largely ignored by both sides. U Thant complained last...
