...decision to stand firm has been matched by our desire for peace" -at which point, many listeners thought that they would hear some news about the peace mission. The President kept mum, but in pursuit of that mission, Vice President Hubert Humphrey last week talked with Soviet Premier Aleksei Kosygin in New Delhi, and Secretary of State Dean Rusk and Ambassador at Large Averell Harriman conferred with South Vietnamese officials in Saigon. As the U.S. stretched to its fourth week the halt on bombings of North Viet Nam, the White House also revealed that a U.S. diplomat recently handed...
...hard line with Pakistan that led him ultimately to the Russian city of Tashkent, where, at the invitation of Soviet Premier Aleksei Kosygin, he met with Pakistan's President Ayub Khan for peace talks to settle the border war.

Priests poured on ghee and incense. Within seconds, the flames erupted, illuminating the wisp of white under the logs. Soon...
...trick," a "hoax," and "the greatest show on earth," featuring "freaks and monsters," meaning, presumably, the U.S. envoys. But America's allies and much of the nonaligned world clearly were impressed. Indian Prime Minister Shastri indicated to Harriman he would convey the American message to Russia's Kosygin-and did so as soon as he reached Tashkent for his peace talks with Ayub Khan. The Japanese, despite considerable reservations about the growing scope of the war, greeted Harriman warmly as shin-yo aru hikeshi otoko-"the trustworthy man who puts out fires."
