Kapwepwe obviously hoped that his well-publicized resignation would pave the way for an eventual return to power-perhaps to Kaunda's office-by popular acclaim.

It was rejected by the U.S. for lack of adequate guarantees, but may have helped pave the way for the 1968 nuclear nonproliferation treaty. Rapacki's recent position was weakened not only by refusing to go along with the campaign against Jews, which other leaders, including Party Boss Wladyslaw Gomulka, joined only reluctantly, but also by opposing Poland's role in the Czechoslovak invasion...
