...Soviet Union on the way back and kindly volunteered to "mediate" Sino-Soviet differences, while back in Bucharest, Russian bookstores were being closed, and Russian was dropped as a compulsory language in the schools. The Rumanian press quoted liberally from Chinese diatribes against the Soviets. The Kremlin bit its lip and wangled an invitation for President Anastas Mikoyan to attend Bucharest's celebration of its 1944 "liberation." Otherwise, China's representative would have had the show all to himself...

And so the Atlanta Conference, held last week, was faced with the question: Who had been making the decisions in Mississippi and who should make them...
...that odd, oral simile Chen neglected to say who was the teeth and who was merely the lip. But Peking's friends provided plenty of lip service. From Djakarta to Caracas, mobs led by Chinese Communist and other "students" smashed U.S. embassy windows, burned cars, ripped American flags, winged inkpots, and howled for Lyndon Johnson's blood. Back in Moscow after his eleven-day swing through Asia, So viet Premier Aleksei Kosygin at least partly echoed the Peking line; he promised "appropriate" military aid to the North Vietnamese, and his propaganda machine threatened dire consequences unless "American imperialism...
