...able," he said, "to meet each other all the way on all points, and perhaps cannot say that we have completely identical views on all the events going on." Unfortunately for Ayub, Kosygin is not willing to risk alienating India, an ally against the Chinese that Russia wants to pamper with every attention. At week's end he planned a detour to New Delhi on his flight home, probably to discuss the Viet...
