...none other than the foreign editor of Pravda, the official organ of Russia's Communist Party - a man whose words and ideas could reason ably be expected to reflect the latest thinking and policy ambitions of the Kremlin. Last week, vacationing in The Netherlands, Yuri Zhukov spoke to the Dutch political weekly Haagse Post about what Russia has in mind when it comes to Europe, East or West. His obvious message: After soft-pedaling for the sake of détente their desire to replace U.S. influence in Europe with their own, the Russians are once again busily...

A curious blend of liberal and conservative, he was concerned...
...seventh session of the Viet Nam peace talks in Paris last week, there was a long pause amid the set-piece exchanges. Then, suddenly leaning across the table and intently scanning the visage of U.S. Negotiator Averell Harriman, North Viet Nam Chief Delegate Xuan Thuy spoke with surprising directness...
