Blueprint for Unity. Will the journey bring an end to the cold war or just a Franco-Russian nonaggression pact like the one De Gaulle concluded on his last visit to Moscow in 1944, which the Soviets tore up after West Germany joined NATO in 1955? Will there be a new shape to the Continent? Certainly France and Russia - allies of old in the broad European context - have it in their power to change the structure of Europe. De Gaulle has already generated a new atmosphere in the Western alliance, and the Russians are under considerable pressure to alter...
Brenner denied Elksnis due process when he did not tell him that he could change his plea, said Judge Weinfeld; more important for other cases, even if Brenner had kept his word, the whole pact violated rules of "fundamental fairness." Such bargains, said Weinfeld, are inherently wrong because of "the unequal positions of the judge and the accused, one with the power to commit to prison and the other deeply concerned to avoid prison."

And what seemed to be on their minds? How to keep Rumania's nationalist-minded government from bolting, for one thing. Some sort of rapprochement with the West, for another. And what to tell Charles de Gaulle next week when he arrives in Moscow to talk about European unity...
...repolishing pro football's image falls to ex-Public Relations Man Rozelle. Under the terms of the peace pact, he is now the commissioner of both leagues, at a salary of $85,000 per year. Davis will probably return to coaching. He got the job in the first place, says an A.F.L. spokesman, "mainly to be sure that we didn't lose our shirts in the merger deal...
