Washington is also annoyed with Israel for waging a vigorous campaign against the U.S.-Russian talks aimed at achieving a proposal for a settlement. As it happens, the talks so far have been totally futile. Next week U.S. Secretary of State William Rogers and Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, due in New York for the opening of the U.N. General Assembly, are scheduled to meet to discuss the Middle East. Even if Washington and Moscow were to devise a peace formula, Israel steadfastly refuses to recognize any settlements arranged by outside parties. "Tell Washington that we will never go along...
...years on the bench. In 1952, he refused to nullify President Truman's seizure of the steel industry, only to be reversed by the Supreme Court; ten years later, he fined the U.S. Communist Party $120,000 for failing to register as an agent of the Soviet Union, and was reversed again. As a colleague put it: "Most of us take the higher courts as guidelines, but not Alex. He used to say, They're not superior to me,' and rule...

On that occasion, Kosygin made it farther than the airport-he was received by Chairman Mao Tse-tung. Almost certainly, they then agreed on the need to increase aid to North Viet Nam, but no progress was evident on the settling of their feud. Since then, the feud has grown to epic proportions. Last March, just after a bitter, bloody Soviet-Chinese clash on the Ussuri River, Kosygin sought to telephone Peking's leaders...
...agreeing to a new meeting. Certainly, the Chinese could not have snubbed Ho's posthumous plea for an end to comradely hostility without offending Hanoi. Rumanian Premier Ion Gheorghe Maurer, who stopped off in Peking en route home to Bucharest after Ho's funeral, appealed for Sino-Soviet talks. Moreover, the Chinese had stumbled badly in their handling of North Viet Nam over the past several days. Chou had flown to Hanoi before Ho's funeral, then left with almost indecent haste in the face of Kosygin's arrival. Neither Chairman...
