...their first summit in Moscow in 1972, President Nixon gave Soviet Party Chief Leonid Brezhnev a Cadillac. At their second meeting last year in Washington, Nixon gave him a Lincoln Continental. Last week, back in Moscow for the third summit in as many years, Nixon brought with him a sporty Chevrolet Monte Carlo for the Soviet Union's foremost automobile enthusiast. In a curious sense, the gift of the cheaper auto,* which Brezhnev had specifically requested after reading that it was Motor Trend magazine's "car of the year," was an appropriate symbol of the more relaxed relations...
...perspiring in the frenzied moment, Photographer Dirck Halstead squinted through his telephoto lens last Thursday at the animated face of Richard Nixon and squeezed off what may have been his 25,000th shot of the famous visage in six years.

Their ability to agree on it will determine whether the U.S. and Russia will discontinue the costly and potentially dangerous search for nuclear advantage...
...Kalb brothers assert that "on Sept. 22 [Egyptian President Anwar] Sadat informed [Soviet Party Chief Leonid] Brezhnev that the war would begin on Oct. 6. As far as one can tell, the Russian leader raised no objections." Although "there was a steady flow of intelligence indicating plans for an imminent Egyptian-Syrian attack, the political leaders of Israel and the United States, incredibly, failed to recognize it." On Oct. 5, Kissinger was at the Waldorf Towers in New York City for the General Assembly session. He did not receive a report from Ray Cline, then head of the State Department...
