...summit was designed to help clear away misconceptions on both sides. The participants knew, however, that they were going to Vienna somewhat impaired, Brezhnev by his age (72) and ailments; Carter by his loss of political support (the latest polls show him with only 30% approval). Neither leader had any illusions about making major breakthroughs. At a Kremlin dinner before his departure, Brezhnev expressed only the hope that the summit would "become an important stage of further development of Soviet-American relations." As Carter left Washington, he warned that progress toward peace is "often measured in inches...
...first as U.S. President; he has visited the area occasionally before, stopping briefly in Japan, while campaigning for the presidency in 1975 for instance.

That calculated benevolence may not be of much help to many Britons as they try to cope with a new round of inflation...
...commandeering automobiles, looting houses and in a few cases killing civilians. Nyerere, who admitted that the war against Amin cost his country more than $250 million, announced two weeks ago that his army would soon begin pulling out of Uganda. Some of his troops, however, would remain behind to help train the new Ugandan army. In Kampala, the withdrawal of the Tanzanian soldiers is a sticky issue. Though many Ugandans resent the presence of an occupation army, they realize that the Tanzanians are virtually the only security force in Kampala at the moment...
