...open mind, but it's like arguing before a judge. When she makes a decision, it's made." A chain smoker who goes through nearly three packs of cigarettes a day, the Premier hides them when she greets a visitor or appears on television. "I don't want to have a bad influence on the young," she explains, "but there's no point in my giving up cigarettes now. I won't die young...
...Meir is in good health and plans to serve the four-year term to which she is almost certain to be elected. Nevertheless she is grooming Deputy Premier Allon, 50, a loyal, Oxford-educated party man, as her successor.

...opportunity it offered the Chinese to strengthen their position in North Viet Nam, seem to have brought Peking to the point of agreeing to a new meeting. Certainly, the Chinese could not have snubbed Ho's posthumous plea for an end to comradely hostility without offending Hanoi. Rumanian Premier Ion Gheorghe Maurer, who stopped off in Peking en route home to Bucharest after Ho's funeral, appealed for Sino-Soviet talks.
