...pursuit of its national interest, it has even started courting nations that it used to castigate-Yugoslavia, for example. Peking has been host this summer to a strikingly varied group of officials from Zambia, Sudan, France, the Congo Republic, Poland and South Yemen. Rumanian Defense Minister Ion lonita was overwhelmed with hospitality and treated to a private audience with the usually inaccessible Chairman Mao. But for all the activity at home, the main thrust of the new Chinese diplomacy has been in other nations...
...first sign of improvement in the lot of Catholics came in 1967, when the immensely revered Hungarian bishop, Aron Marton, was released after enduring 18 years of prison and house arrest. Shortly thereafter, Rumanian Premier Ion Gheorghe Maurer paid a visit to the Vatican. Last March, Bishop Marton himself was finally allowed to visit Rome. Major, state-subsidized restoration has begun on the 13th century Catholic Cathedral of Alba Iulia. Here, the tiny, white-haired bishop, now 84, celebrates Mass every Sunday, as martyr and witness to the vagaries of Rumanian religious policy...
Strictly Protocol. Brezhnev turned his ceremonial duties over to Premier Aleksei Kosygin. The Rumanians countered by sending out a welcoming delegation headed by Premier Ion Maurer, Kosygin's exact equivalent in government rank but not in real power or party stature.

Ceausescu stayed away from the formal events, including his own government's official reception and the treaty signing. He entertained Kosygin at one luncheon and spent three hours in private talks...
...dignitate muliebri, pro educatione puellarum et doctrina quae pueris foret aequa fortissime contendistis. In universitate Harvardiana, in patria, in orbeterrarum, status feminarum plerumque inferior dudum habetur. Mulieres se contemnere didicerunt. Copiae et honores et titulihominibus dati tamen feminis sunt negati . . . Arma nondum licet deponere, meae sorores, nee proeliurn tarn Ion-gum tamque difficile nobis est relin-quendum. Ubique flagrat iniqua virorum dominatio...
After setting up sophisticated detectors to monitor their results, a team ol physicists led by Albert Ghiorso used the University of California's Lawrence Radiation Laboratory's heavy-ion linear accelerator (HILAC) to shoot nitrogen 15 nuclei with an energy level of 84 million electron volts at a submicroscopic bit of californium 249. Although a constant stream of nuclei was directed at the target, only about six collisions per hour produced atoms of the new element...
