...agree that the Soviets have retaliated against Carter's China move by stalling SALT II. It had been expected that Secretary of State Cyrus Vance and Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko would agree on all but a few technical details of a new treaty at their meeting in late December. But they deadlocked when the Russians suddenly raised issues that had already been settled. By delaying SALT II, Moscow was able to postpone the Carter-Brezhnev summit, which had been tentatively planned for the middle of this month, just a couple of weeks before China's Teng...

But perhaps it was a matter of precise timing. In Washington late last week, Secretary of State Cyrus Vance announced that the Shah would indeed leave soon on an extended vacation. It was a sound idea, added Vance, "and we concur with that decision." Wary of appearing to meddle in Iran's crisis, Washington issued discreet instructions to Ambassador William Sullivan...
