...mission to Moscow, Italian Foreign Minister Aldo Moro formally advised the Soviet government that NATO wants to begin talks with the Warsaw Pact about force reductions in Europe. Perhaps as an indication of Soviet interest, Moro was received both by Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko and Premier Aleksei Kosygin. But then it was only logical for them to hear out the NATO emissary, since it was Soviet Party Chief Leonid Brezhnev who last May invited the Atlantic Alliance to taste the wine of Russian intentions about troop cuts...
...almost total secrecy, President Nixon made contact with "highest-level" Soviet officials last January, among them Premier Aleksei Kosygin. The talks continued until last week, when Nixon-and the Soviets-finally broke silence. Appearing briefly on TV, the President announced a "significant development" in ending the deadlock in the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks.

...filed last week by Freelancer Audrey Topping, wife of the Times executive. In a dinner-party interview with Chou, she got his personal account of China's split with the Soviet Union, including a description of a meeting in which Mao told Russian Premier Aleksei Kosygin that their dispute would last 10,000 years. Chou said that in 1969, at Kosygin's request, he conferred with the Russian leader for three hours at the Peking airport after Ho Chi Minh's funeral. They agreed to start negotiations over their border dispute and, in effect, maintain the state...
