...Collins, the year off was at least partially successful in that he fulfilled two of his primary goals. One accomplishment was that he did make progress in analysis. "I also wanted to find out what I really liked,"--liked to do, liked to study, simply liked. He saw "hundreds of movies" during his time away, but he also found himself genuinely motivated toward reading in psychology, his primary area of interest.

Last week, following a three-day meeting with South African Prime Minister John Vorster in Zurich, Kissinger flew to London, Paris and Hamburg to report on the talks' progress to America's allies, then returned to Washington to confer with President Ford. Almost immediately, Ford and Kissinger decided that the Secretary should proceed to southern Africa to try his special style of shuttle diplomacy.

The leaders of those nations presumably approved another Kissinger-Vorster meeting...
...Philippine Communist Party and its military wing, the New People's Army (N.P.A.), including nine of the party's 14-member Central Committee. Almost all of the prisoners had been taken into custody since January. Their collective appearance at Fort Aguinaldo was an awesome display of progress in Marcos' effort to end the Communist guerrilla movement that has survived, despite great difficulties, ever since the Philippines was granted independence from...
