...sometimes seems great enough to require its own hot line. One recent example of their divergent tactics, in fact, ended in a cable the Secretary of State received while he was still on a Far Eastern tour. Uncharacteristically apologetic, the President's National Security Affairs Adviser recalled his remark to the effect that the U.S. ought to "expel" Russian troops from the Middle East. That remark, cabled Kissinger, had been unfortunate...

He would, if he could, mortgage Margaret's Christopher Wren-designed palace for a chance to do a feature film like that cinematographic tour de force, Elvira Madigan. His next project, though, will still be "on the fringes of documentary." He is dickering about...
