...real breakthrough came on Oct. 8, as Kissinger arrived at a spacious villa used by the North Vietnamese near the town of Rambouillet, 28 miles southwest of Paris, for this 19th meeting with Le Due Tho. The North Vietnamese began the quiet Sunday-morning session with a ritual demand for a political settlement, and then asked for a two-hour break. Kissinger spent the time walking through the surrounding oak and beech forests, pondering what would come next. The setting had the kind of historical cachet that delights Kissinger. It was at Rambouillet, with its 14th century chateau, once...
...reception was held on the second floor of the Pound Building in a spacious room covered by a plush, orange wall-to-wall carpet. Bowls of pretzels, potato chips and shrimp lined every table. Directly in front of the door was a make-shift bar manned by two students who graciously mixed drinks for all comers.

Too long, too oldfashioned, too English, thought American publishers. But then in 1964 A Horseman Riding By, the first of Delderfield's Devonshire family sagas, sold an impressive 20,000 copies in the U.S. By 1970 the Delderfield blend of history, sentiment and foursquare storytelling could make God Is an Englishman a runaway U.S. bestseller...
...spacious marble and granite palace on Lima's Plaza de Armas, Peru's leftist soldier-President, General Juan Velasco Alvarado, last week smilingly accepted the credentials of a tall, bearded diplomat named Antonio Núñez Jiménez. The new ambassador was a Cuban, the first from his country to take up residence in Lima since Peru broke off relations in 1960. The arrival of Núñez in Peru, which struggled with Cuban-supported, revolutionaries through much of the 1960s, was another sign of the increasing acceptance that Fidel Castro's regime...
