...rambling, 18-page declaration issued from Bucharest's erstwhile Royal Palace, there was not a word about a strengthened command structure-clear evidence that Rumanian Leader Nicolae Ceauşescu had once again thwarted Soviet designs. Instead, the declaration reiterated Brezhnev's call for a pan-European "security conference" aimed at the simultaneous dismantling of NATO and the Warsaw Pact. When Brezhnev first proposed the conference in March, he wanted to keep the U.S. out of any European settlement. This time, the U.S. role was purposely kept ambiguous. In any case, there was no indication in Western capitals...
...people took it calmly enough, but the Mwami was terribly upset. "I am very unhappy," said the King. "This is my only son, but he has a knack for getting into trouble." Blaming extreme rightists for inciting Charles's move, he sent a telegram to the youth: "The royal authority has not been given to you in the proper manner, and I remain Mwami.

There, his hero Claude takes it all with existential calm: "Thanks to the fallen stone, he was suddenly in harmony with the forest and the temple. He pictured the three stones as they had been, one above the other; the two dancing girls were some of the purest work he had ever seen. Well, the next thing was to load them onto the carts...
...Morgan J. Cramer, 59, moved from P. Lorillard Co., where, until six weeks ago, he was chairman, of the international division, to Royal Crown Cola, where he becomes president of its international subsidiary. Cramer's switch from puffs to pop was described as amicable. In his 35-year career with Lorillard, Cramer concentrated on the company's exports, retained his interest in overseas business after he became president in 1961 and chief executive a year later. Lorillard's greatest sales (95%) and biggest headaches, though, are in the domestic field, where its onetime fast-selling Kents have...
