...negotiations," Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko once observed, "it is the last 20 minutes that count." Last week there were strong rumors in Bonn that the four-power Berlin talks, now in their 17th month, might be approaching the 20-minute countdown. When the Big Four ambassadors meet this week in West Berlin's old Prussian High Court Building, they are expected to make it a marathon session that may last three days. Speculation was that they are ready to hammer out the last kinks in an "umbrella agreement" on the city's status. Such a breakthrough could...

On a mission to Moscow, Italian Foreign Minister Aldo Moro formally advised the Soviet government that NATO wants to begin talks with the Warsaw Pact about force reductions in Europe. Perhaps as an indication of Soviet interest, Moro was received both by Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko and Premier Aleksei Kosygin.

Muskie and Gromyko talked for nearly three hours over a "wide range" of subjects. The next day came the coup of the trip for a presidential candidate seeking to strengthen his foreign policy credentials: a 3-hr. 45-min. interview on "bilateral interests" with Aleksei Kosygin...
...Europe. Pope Paul VI, in an obvious allusion to both the Leningrad and Burgos trials, deplored "certain judicial proceedings" that "contribute to a sense of anxiety, lamentation and uneasiness in the world." In Washington, Secretary of State William Rogers personally wrote to Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko urging clemency, and the Senate unanimously passed a resolution expressing grave concern about injustices to Soviet Jews. Most European governments made appeals through diplomatic channels...
