...aftermath of the Russian invasion of Czechoslovakia two very different theories are emerging on what that event will mean in east-west relations. One argument, supported by both Senator Eugene McCarthy and President Johnson, contends that Czechoslovakia was at worst a passing interruption in the steady progress being made towards east-west detente.

Some hard bargaining will have to take place since the FAA order will force the airlines to make schedule reductions of some sort, like it or not. Moreover, since every landing and takeoff has to be reserved in advance, the FAA rules may cut into Eastern Air Lines' popular Washington-New York shuttle service. It accommodated 3.3 million passengers last year, on the premise that if scheduled shuttle planes...
