DIPLOMACY. Though Cairo will be allowed to insist otherwise for the sake of its relations with Arab allies, Kissinger has assured Israel that no "linkage" will be required between the Sinai negotiations and major movement on the Golan Heights and on the future of the West Bank. Washington will continue its refusal to recognize the Palestine Liberation Organization until the P.L.O. accepts Israel's right to exist and stops terrorist acts like the bomb blast in Jerusalem two weeks ago that killed 14 people. (In revenge, Israeli forces last week attacked Palestinian camps in southern Lebanon, killing at least...
MARIJUANA: NEW STUDY. Most U.S. researchers insist that marijuana use poses serious health hazards and have linked the drug with chromosomal and immunological defects, lung damage and interference with speech and memory. But a team of anthropologists from the New York City-based Research Institute for the Study of Man, which spent two years studying marijuana users on the Caribbean island of Jamaica, concluded that although the drug causes inefficiency on the job, even among farm laborers, it does no apparent physical harm. The researchers noted that Jamaicans who smoke ganja, as the powerful, locally grown marijuana is called, take...
...question remains when and whether Mrs. Gandhi will relinquish her authoritarian powers. Senior government officials insist that the emergency will end "as soon as possible."

If the Prime Minister were to convene Parliament while opposition leaders are still imprisoned, she would be risking a potentially widespread outcry.

After the coup, Diem was murdered. Former senior CIA officials insist that the slaying was the private work of the Vietnamese generals' junior officers and was done without the U.S. Government's foreknowledge...
...control the Socialists by threatening to form a coalition with right-wing parties, but last week's vote makes that virtually impossible. Thus the Socialists are in a position to demand a steep price for continuing to support the Christian Democrats in a center-left government. They may insist, for example, on getting two of the three key Cabinet seats-Interior, Defense and Foreign Affairs. If they are denied, they could threaten to form a popular front with the Communists, since together they command more than 45% of Italy's votes. But they are reluctant to do this...
