...dimmed perceptibly since their hot-line harmony of two 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...

But even when the paintings leave the National Gallery next month, they will still not be safely home. Weimar lies in East Germany, so Congress has handed Bonn the responsibility of ultimately returning them to the museum from which, almost half a century ago, they were taken...
