...great powers with different social systems, the Soviet Union and France, have decided to put their relations on a solid foundation." De Gaulle was doubtless pleased at something else Kosygin predictably produced: a blast-though a perfunctory one-at U.S. "intervention" in Viet Nam. But while the two statesmen were in hearty agreement over events in far-off Asia, they reached a standoff on what is the great issue for Europeans. In their talks, Kosygin again forcibly urged the general to recognize the division of Germany, but De Gaulle would have none of it, and their final communique simply ignored...
...principles. Yet, their viewpoint, though formidable, is still a definite minority. If this was not so, their opinions would now be controlling our foreign policy. The way to increase influence is not to force doctrines on people that prefer to devise their own political philosophies, or to heckle prominent statesmen, but to apply the tools of our democracy. The SDS has done this; they have reached as many people as possible by legal means. The only alternative that they can rightfully take is to maintain a status quo -- continue their referendums, meetings, and pamphlets; and hope their theories begin...

The scuttlebutt is that Volpe took speech lessons while out of office...
...months after "the other side" withdrew its forces, infiltration was ended and the level of violence had subsided.

Even more, it was designed to answer those statesmen-most notably France's Charles de Gaulle and Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko-who have urged the U.S. to offer a specific timetable for withdrawal of its forces from Viet Nam as a possible prelude to negotiations. When Gromyko talked with Johnson in Washington last month, he declared...
Imelda's greatest triumph was a barrio fiesta, modeled after a village festival, that was held on the grounds of Malacanang the night the conference ended. Beneath gold lanterns that swung gently from broad acacia trees strolled 2,000 guests. All the visiting statesmen save General Park, unrelenting in a business suit, sported elaborately embroidered barong tagalog shirts worn outside the trousers; the ladies were supplied by Imelda with butterfly-sleeved balintawak and patadyong dresses...
