...victory was credited largely to Turkey's growing disdain for the eager flirtation with Russia carried on by his chief opponent, foxy former Premier Ismet Inönü, 83. In recent months, however, Demirel has begun some mild flirting of his own. He has received Rumanian Premier Ion Gheorghe Maurer and Bulgarian Foreign Minister Ivan Bashev, sent official delegations to Poland, Russia and Albania. Last week Demirel welcomed his biggest Communist visitor yet: Soviet Premier Aleksei Kosygin, the first Russian Premier ever to visit Turkey...
While the use of the interplanetary billiard technique drastically cuts travel time, Stewart says, it does little to reduce the large amounts of fuel and great initial thrust required to send a spacecraft to the distant planets. But another rapidly developing propulsion system, the solar-powered ion engine, may well solve that problem in time for the flights of the 1970s. Using electricity generated by solar panels, these engines produce a stream of ions (charged atomic particles) that provide a minute amount of thrust - usually measured in hundredths of a pound...

And last week, in the first visit to the Aegean kingdom ever made by a Communist Premier, Maurer flew to Greece...

Last month Rumanian Minister of Metallurgy Ion Marinescu visited Paris; Russia's Leonid Brezhnev showed briefly in Bratislava; Czech Foreign Trade Minister Frantiśek Hamouz skipped frantically from Oslo to Budapest to Copenhagen, signing trade agreements. Meanwhile, Danish agricultural experts toured the backwoods of Czechoslovakia; Norwegian Mayor Brynjulf Bull concluded a scientific agreement in Budapest; and a delegation of Polish parliamentarians arrived in Brussels to have a look at the Common Market.
