...Washington to seek jets and arms, but not peace through compromise. Outwardly, the Premier is the archetypical, haimisheh (homey) Jewish grandma. In fact, as she amply demonstrated on her visit, Golda Meir is among the toughest, ablest and most zealous Zionists who ever lived. She repeatedly discounted all U.S.-Soviet efforts to find a solution to the dangerous Mideast crisis...
...never fought a war and have never seen an imperialist or known capitalism in power," he told American Author Edgar Snow in 1965. He feared that the young, without the rigors of revolution to test them as he had been tested, were getting soft. The ideological split with the Soviet Union was by now forbiddingly wide, and Mao feared that China would eventually follow the Soviet example: a revolution that had been sold out, turning bourgeois in its concern for consumer goods and comforts rather than self-sacrifice and struggle.

Even Russia will not escape: Soviet dubbers are now at work on the series so that it can be shown there next year...
...remains inevitable so long as the Concorde and the Soviet TU-144 are in the air. Yet their threat to U.S. technology could prove to be a mirage. In 1964, Britain tried to cancel the Concorde because of rising costs, but was prevented from doing so by Charles de Gaulle's insistence that Britain live up to its contract. France's new President Georges Pompidou may be more amenable to the idea. As for the Soviet entry, it is largely an unreal threat; no Western airline could risk relying on Russia for spare parts...
