...help much. While working on a cover story on President Nicolae Ceauşescu, Rademaekers spent three weeks in Rumania and could not "get within ten feet of a high party official." Needing some descriptive details for a cover portrait (TIME, March 18, 1966), he asked a Rumanian press officer for help. What color, for example, were Ceauşescu's eyes? The officer did not know. Nor did he know anyone who did know. "He wouldn't ask," says Rademaekers. "He couldn't ask. Finally, in total frustration I cabled New York to color them...
...uneasy about is Gerald Ford, who is coming up fast as a jovial but strong character actor. Among the performers sharing the limelight will be French President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, British Prime Minister Harold Wilson, Yugoslav President Josip Broz Tito, Rumanian President Nicolae Ceauşescu, Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau.

Inspired by the example of his prominent inlaw, Tucker, who was then a fur coat-lining salesman and cantor...
Small Token. Even without that side trip, Kissinger's journey was an exhausting one. Besides trying to restore momentum to Middle East negotiations, he had talked about oil prices with the Shah of Iran and King Faisal (see ECONOMY & BUSINESS) and had discussed East-West relations with Rumanian President Nicolae Ceausescu in Bucharest and aging Josip Broz Tito, now 82, in Belgrade, as well as with Leonid Brezhnev in Moscow. As a small token of the Soviet party chiefs hopes for a happy Vladivostok summit meeting with Gerald Ford later this month, the Russians last week allowed Lithuanian Sailor...
