...defer major antipress proposals. Diplomats predicted that the second Talloires session would reinforce the journalists' counterattack: it drew 83 participants, vs. 63 in 1981, and included news organizations from the U.S., most of Western Europe, Japan and countries as diverse as Finland, India and Peru. Said Jean Gerard, U.S. Ambassador to the agency: "This makes UNESCO a little less anxious to take a confrontational tone."

The quarterly, founded in 1922, made a public splash last year, when four former top-ranking U.S. officials-McGeorge Bundy, George Kennan, Robert McNamara and Gerard Smith-published a joint article calling on the U.S. to renounce the first use of nuclear weapons. The piece was a high point in the eleven-year editorship of McGeorge Bundy's brother William, 65, who was a national security aide to Presidents Kennedy and Johnson. William Bundy...
