...President to visit Belgium since Woodrow Wilson arrived triumphantly in 1919 after negotiating the Treaty of Versailles. The President was met by Belgium's young King Baudouin, who led him down a 200-yd. red carpet to review a guard of honor. Nixon greeted NATO Secretary-General Manlio Brosio among the potted palms and pink azaleas of the royal tent, and then, with the King at his side, drove to the Palais Royale de Bruxelles...
Next morning, he was to visit NATO's prefabricated new headquarters. There he planned a brief speech to the ambassadors from the 15 NATO member nations. Afterward, he was to hold private conferences on the state of the alliance with NATO Secretary-General Manlio Brosio and various NATO ambassadors.

Gone were the pleasant...
...Vance's pleading, Demirel agreed to delay Turkish military measures until the U.S. envoy had an opportunity to sound out the Greek leaders. What Vance learned in Athens obviously pleased the Turks, who announced that they and the Greeks would accept the good office of Italy's Manlio Brosio, the NATO Secretary-General, as mediator in the dispute. It was a hopeful development, but by no means a permanent one. The situation remained so tense that a handful of men with submachine guns on Cyprus could wipe out the diplomatic achievements in a matter of seconds and plunge...
