...Schmidt strode over to Reagan's house at 4 p.m. Thursday and talked with the President-elect for an hour. They discussed the state of the NATO alliance, East-West relations, arms control and defense. Schmidt was obviously pleased, in glowing contrast to his usual somber mood after talking with Carter. The German leader could never conceal his impatience with what he regarded as Carter's moralistic and vacillating approach to foreign policy. Although he originally considered Reagan to be a politically inexperienced movie actor, he is swallowing his doubts and now regards Reagan...

After lunch and a final talk in the White House last week, President Carter cordially thanked his guest for the "very fruitful and constructive relationship" they had had.

Many Watergate tapes were turned over to the special prosecutor in 1974, and those played at the cover-up trial may be heard by the public at the National Archives. Despite the courts' refusal to respect Nixon's claim that presidential privilege automatically shields other Oval Office conversations from disclosure, Nixon so far has managed to keep secret the 113 tape segments sought by demonstrators arrested during the 1971 May Day protests. Nixon's attorneys maintain that the conversations are harmless. The ex-President...
