Bonn no longer believes that reunification can be brought about only by an unrelenting, tough stand toward the East. Rather, said Brandt last week, it "will be possible only within the framework of a general European détente, which we earnestly and sincerely seek." Significantly, Bonn forged ahead on its own and told the U.S. what it was up to only as a matter of courtesy...
...second thoughts. General Ne Win, the tough, ascetic strongman who nationalized everything in sight after he took power in a 1962 coup, has put the production and distribution of 34 basic food items back into private hands, and last week had an agent in Eastern Europe to seek advice about how to run a socialist country without going broke.

Now about laying down arms...
...program of national reconcilation. You remember the second inaugural address of President Lincoln. The government of South Vietnam, and the governments, of North Vietnam are governments, and we do no task that the government of North Vietnam relinquish its role as a government. The basic concept we seek to advance is a very simple one. That is, that there be a grounding of arms so that bloodshed and violence shall cease; that there be an opportunity for all to participate in the democratic process that will bring a truly civilian government to that part of the world, and that will...
