...dilemma. Now lieutenant governor of California, he has built an impressive constituency among moderate Republicans and independents at home. He would like to run for the U.S. Senate or the governorship in 1970, but both George Murphy and Ronald Reagan seem to like their current roles, and will probably seek reelection. Finch, 43, must either return home to tend to his political power base or come to Washington and risk losing the California support that some Republicans think might propel him to the G.O.P. presidential nomination...

Both, he urged, should press on with negotiations for limiting anti-ballistic missiles and should seek ratification of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty.

...Soviet version of Marines, stroll the streets of Damascus. Intelligence trawlers refuel at what has become the Soviets' main Mediterranean port of call, Alexandria. Soviet patrol boats tie up 1,700 miles to the west at the Algerian port of Mers-el-Kebir. Soviet subs play hide-and-seek with NATO patrols underneath the heel of Italy. Overhead, from bases in Egypt, Soviet "Badger" class planes, their red stars painted over with Egyptian markings, wing daily across the Mediterranean to shadow Allied fleets...
