...evaluating our policy means weakening it," says former Congressman Walter Judd, a longtime friend of Nationalist China. Even such moderates as former Under Secretary of State Nicholas deB. Katzenbach uphold the older view. "It is China's position that is inflexible-not ours," he says. "Our relations are not bad because of something we are not doing." Says John Gronouski, ex-U.S. Ambassador to Poland and a veteran of fruitless talks with...
...Magnetic Pole, a local teen-age interpreter greeted him proudly wearing a green sweatshirt emblazoned with "Here comes the judge." It was meant as a serious tribute. On the same stop there was perhaps an even more significant indicator. An Eskimo was fined $5 for beating up a friend. He was asked after the trial if the decision had been fair.

He collected their letters over a seven-month period, then sent photo copies to his old friend, Manager Toddie O'Sullivan. "I said, 'Toddie, I don't like this at all. Something must be wrong.' " Next, he dispatched Nancy on an inspection trip, then dropped the Gresham to No. 2 in Dublin, behind the Shelbourne. "We said we hoped it was only a temporary aberration," Fielding says.
