...trying to renew the Cold War. Many U.S. officials reciprocate the suspicion because of what they describe as a "trilogy" of events in the past year: 1) The Soviets sent not only missiles but also crewmen to Egypt's aid along the Suez Canal; 2) they gave at least tacit permission for a Soviet-equipped Syrian armored column to invade Jordan during King Hussein's showdown with the Palestinian guerrillas; and 3) they covertly tried to set up a nuclear sub base at Cienfuegos, Cuba. Still, in his last "State of the World" address, President Nixon made the most positive...
Turkey's civil politicians now have the choice of forming a coalition cabinet or rallying round some member of Demirel's dominant Justice Party who would be more acceptable to the army. Either out of fear of an outright military takeover or, more likely, out of tacit agreement with the generals' move, most Turks accepted the change with equanimity.

Headquarters' reaction was swift: a request for his resignation. When Brown refused, he was summarily dismissed...
...negotiators argued at the Paris peace talks over the American right to carry out unarmed reconnaissance. Ambassador David K.E. Bruce insisted that the U.S. made it clear when the bombing stopped that it would continue overflights. North Viet Nam's Xuan Thuy said there was no such agreement, tacit or explicit, between Hanoi and Washington: it is "an invented fable" that "contradicts all logic...
