Left unsettled as De Gaulle flew back to Paris at week's end (replete with a small Siberian bear in his baggage) was the key question of a Soviet withdrawal of forces from East Germany. De Gaulle clearly would like to see such a first step toward the dissolution of that obstacle to a European settlement, and the U.S. has indicated that it would consider a quid pro quo pullback of its own. The matter may very well be on the agenda of the Warsaw Pact powers when they meet this week in the Rumanian capital of Bucharest...
...march into a national cause celebre-and the celebrities began streaming toward Jackson. Comedian Dick Gregory, Showman Sammy Davis Jr. and Actor Marlon Brando turned up in Tougaloo to perform for the marchers the night before their seven-mile trek into Jackson. Meredith, recovered from his wounds, also flew back but at first refused to have anything to do with the main body of marchers, with the cryptic comment: "There have been some shenanigans going on that I don't like."

But as he flew to Soviet Asia and announced that he would later visit tiny Cambodia, the war in Viet Nam seemed to be a more urgent topic of conversation. The chief foreign-policy concerns of both America and Russia now lie in Asia. U.S. congressional committees and other forums heatedly debate the stability of Asian regimes, the aspirations of the Mekong Delta peasants, the nature of Buddhism. Understanding Asia has become...
