...Prague, following a Brandt suggestion that diplomatic talks might be helpful, Party Leader Gustav Husák responded swiftly, albeit cautiously. "We are waiting for an initiative," said Husák, who proposed as a starter the repudiation "from the beginning" of the 1938 Munich Pact that ceded the Sudetenland to Germany.

...junta has threatened some members, notably Britain, West Germany and Italy, with trade reductions. Pipinelis recently staged a well-publicized meeting with the Soviet ambassador to Athens, going out of his way to bill it as "more than just routine." Some officials also warned that Greece might review its "excessive contribution to Europe's defense." There is little real chance, however, that Greece will leave NATO-if only because the U.S., which lobbied against the Council's disciplinary measures, is expected to swallow its dislike of the regime shortly and resume full military aid to Athens, which...

She cited signs of a struggle in the room, and smears of excrement on the window sill and Masaryk's body, suggesting that he might have been dead or gravely injured before his fall. Nonetheless, the attorney general's office ruled that "the possibility of murder can be excluded." It also ruled out suicide, quoting psychiatrists as saying that two weeks under Communism was probably not enough to have driven Masaryk to take his life...

After he was kidnaped from his Cadillac in Rio and held captive for 77 hours last September, U.S. Ambassador to Brazil C. Burke Elbrick suggested that Washington might want to transfer him to another post. The ambassador argued that he was indebted to the Brazilian junta (which freed 15 political prisoners to obtain his release) and therefore could no longer be effective.
