ALONG with 800 other journalists, Nation Reporter Jim Willwerth headed straight for Glassboro, N.J., when he heard the news of the impending Johnson-Kosygin meeting. Arriving from New York in the middle of the night, he managed to acquire a sparsely furnished room in the town's only hotel, tacked a penciled sign on the door reading "TIME Magazine, Glassboro Bureau," and was in business. Among the other TIME staffers who joined him were the Washington Bureau's Bruce Nelan and White House Correspondent Hugh Sidey, who had watched the guessing, the maneuvering and finally the hasty preparation...
...meeting between President Lyndon Baines Johnson and Premier Aleksei Nikolayevich Kosygin had also been long in coming. Yet once started, the summiteers seemed as loath to end their dialogue as they had been to initiate it. For five hours and 20 minutes, at least two hours longer than expected, Johnson and Kosygin conferred on a wide spectrum of world issues that the superpowers alone can hope to resolve, interrupting private sessions monitored only by interpreters with a working luncheon attended by their top advisers. When they parted, it was not goodbye but au revoir; they surprised the world anew...
Crew-cut and impassive, Soviet Premier Aleksei Kosygin strode into the United Nations' glass house in Manhattan last week for the opening of the special session of the General Assembly. He listened with obvious satisfaction as the delegates quickly adopted the agenda-discussion of peace in the Middle East-and adjourned for the weekend, to commence serious debate this week.

Having failed to bail out their Arab client-states on the battlefields, the Soviets...
...Vote Was 16-2. In coming to the U.S., Kosygin assured the Kremlin maximum amplification for its diplomatic offensive. His presence also elevated the level of representation in the Assembly's blue and gold auditorium. The roster of scheduled participants included U.S. Secretary of State Dean Rusk, French Foreign Minister Couve de Mur-ville, British Foreign Secretary George Brown, Israel's Foreign Minister Abba Eban, Denmark's Prime Minister Jens Otto Krag, plus a flock of Communist Eastern European Premiers and Asian and Arab foreign ministers...
...Kosygin was ready to argue that the Assembly ought to brand Israel an aggressor, and insist that it "disgorge the fruits of its aggression"-meaning withdraw from the Arab territories it now occupies-before any peace talks could begin. The two are very different propositions. On the purely technical matter of aggression, Israel scarcely bothers to deny any longer that it started shooting first. On the day before the guns opened up, the Israeli Cabinet met secretly to discuss whether to launch a "preemptive" attack before the gathering Arab armies struck. Abba Eban argued for further diplomatic efforts. Defense Minister...
