...would bury its enemy, the bourgeois class." He offers surprisingly little hope for truly peaceful relations between the U.S. and the Soviet Union: "Peaceful coexistence among different ideologies is not [possible]." History may contradict Khrushchev on that and many of his other judgments. But it is not likely to overlook the earthy, peasant-born Ukrainian who rose to become a world statesman, nor to forget his singular achievement: bestowing a measure of normalcy on the Soviet Union after the bloody aberrations of Stalin's 30-year reign...

...between two close and intimate allies. The dispute involved an issue that Israel deemed vital to her security; the continued buildup of Soviet missilery in the 32-mile-wide cease-fire zone on the Egyptian side of the Suez Canal. For its part, the U.S. would have preferred to overlook the missile buildup in an effort to get the peace negotiations moving under the direction of U.N. Special Representative Gunnar Jarring. The Israelis, who say that the Soviets and Egyptians have used the cease-fire to improve their military situation, refused to accept the American viewpoint...
