...Nuclear Accidents. Nixon also moved to improve U.S. relations with the Soviet Union in a two-hour conference with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko-a session that one participant later termed "more friendly than any previous meeting" between the often dour Gromyko and U.S. officials. The talks ranged the world trouble spots, from the Middle East to the India-Pakistan dispute and to West Berlin.

Last week the British went beyond polite requests. Using the best leverage at hand, the British Foreign Office declared: "The Soviet government can hardly fail to be conscious of the contradictions between their advocacy of a conference on European security and the scale of the operations against the security of this country." The statement went on to make it absolutely clear that unless Soviet officials stopped spying, Britain...
