...Others continued to replay the events of Nov. 22, 1963, and June 5, 1968, as if to exorcise a demon from the national spirit. No fewer than nine new books were on the market in the U.S. eulogizing John or Robert Kennedy, or probing their assassinations. In Russia, Anatoly Gromyko, son of Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, published a mildly sympathetic study on J.F.K.-the first book-length examination of any kind to be printed in the Soviet Union-entitled The 1036 Days of President Kennedy, borrowing heavily from Arthur Schlesinger and Theodore Sorensen, but mostly picturing the late President...
...Soviets so far have only made mat ters worse. The act of invasion was bad enough, but the subsequent rationale for it that the Soviets have evolved is equally alarming to many Communists. Enunciated first by Pravda, the official party newspaper, and later by Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko in a speech at the United Nations, the Soviet Union claims the right to intervene in any Socialist country where the practice and purity of Soviet-style Communism is threatened. Popularly called "the Brezhnev Doctrine," after Soviet Party Boss Leonid Brezhnev, the new Soviet policy poses a threat to the sovereignty...

Improving Defenses. In two private chats with Gromyko in New York last week, Secretary of State Dean Rusk tried to sound out the Russian diplomat about Soviet intentions, but Gromyko remained unhelpful. Gromyko was equally uncooperative during a chat with West German Foreign Minister Willy Brandt, who came away with the impression that the Soviets were unyielding in their determination to prevent the Federal Republic from having any further trade and diplomatic contacts with the East bloc...
...there was ever hope for a limit to the arms race in the Middle East, Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko quashed it during his visit to the U.S. He was simply uninterested. Accordingly, last week President Johnson responded to a year-old Israeli request for 50 U.S. F-4 Phantom fighter-bombers to match the growing supersonic strength of the Arab air forces. He ordered the State Department to begin negotiations with Israel about the sale of the jets-thereby making possible continued Israeli superiority...
