...weeks ago. The Russians, having lost the better part of their $2 billion, decade-long military investment in the Moslem world, also saw their prestige plummet to an all-time low among the Arab states (see THE WORLD). Determined to recoup their psychological loss at least, Soviet Premier Aleksei Kosygin and his colleagues at this week's emergency meeting of the U.N. General Assembly faced the difficult task of inveighing against a fait accompli-Israel's shattering territorial gains. Backed into that corner, the Soviets might be expected to lash out with bitter denunciation not only of Israel...

Soviet officials, meanwhile, bustled around Washington on the eve of Kosygin's arrival in New York, dropping broad hints that if Johnson were willing to break the ice, talks might prove highly profitable.

Buddhism in Viet Nam is accorded Schecter's closest scrutiny and lengthiest appraisal. From the last days of President Diem, who fatally underestimated the power of the political monks, to the past year's Buddhist uprisings, which Premier Nguyen Cao Ky expertly quelled with a combination of "tenacity and guile," the book reconstructs the sorties to the barricades in Viet Nam. There, as elsewhere in Asia, the Buddhists' problem is to resolve "the conflict between tradition and transition in Asian life...
