TIME Washington Bureau Chief Hugh Sidey sums up Powell's performance this way: "If he is a success so far, it is because Carter runs an open White House. Certainly Powell adds a dimension of humor and quick comeback. But if Carter should ever decide that he wants to close things down a bit, then all those jokes from Jody and his engaging ways would not mean a thing.

Vance's tactics apparently have had some success. But SALT "breakthroughs" have been heralded before, only to come to naught. Indeed, as he was about to depart for Moscow, a sour Gromyko cautioned that his discussions with Vance were "just a station along the way ... major and serious difficulties remain." Some of these difficulties will be attacked this week as Warnke and Semyonov resume their talks. The toughest issues will undoubtedly require higher-level bargaining; thus Vance and Gromyko plan to meet again, on a yet undetermined date...

Last week Carter brought off a success in his case-by-case strategy when the Japanese, after complex negotiations, agreed to cut back drastically their exports of color TV sets to the U.S. In the early 1970s, the Japanese share of the U.S. TV set market was about 16%. Then last year Japanese imports spurted to 2.9 million sets-38% of the market-and the trend has continued...

Some OPEC leaders have tried to close the rift, but so far without success. The latest attempt was made by President Carlos Andres Perez of Venezuela. In a fast-paced tour of the Middle East, Perez sought to persuade his warring OPEC colleagues to accept a compromise. His proposal was presumably along these lines: the Eleven would forgo the 5% price increase scheduled to go into effect in July; in return, so the speculation goes, the Saudis and Emirates would allow their prices to rise, gradually closing the 10% differential...
