...Taipei, where there had been some desultory demonstrations earlier, the Rogers announcement was received calmly. A few red, yellow and green posters urging the world to SAVE THE U.N., BLOCK THE COMMUNISTS' ENTRY appeared on downtown walls. The foreign ministry organized regional conferences of its diplomats in Asia, Africa and Latin America in preparation for a new diplomatic offensive. The chances that such an offensive will succeed are slim indeed. Only last week, Turkey became the eighth NATO member (of 15) to recognize Peking and sever relations with Taipei, and Greece may soon follow suit. With reason, the Nationalists...
...Taipei is also becoming less rigid about the conditions under which it would remain in the U.N. The regime now says that it will stay in the U.N. in order to "fight the Communists" if Peking is voted in.

In past sessions, the drama has swirled around the so-called Albanian resolution, which offers the U.N.'s 127 members a simple choice: Taipei or Peking. This year, with the U.S. not only dropping its opposition to Peking's entry but working for the seating of both governments, the delegates will be able to vote for one or the other -or for both...
...almost infinite number of tactical possibilities. "With good staff work, we might come up with 5,000 scenarios and miss what actually happens," said one U.S. expert. Nonetheless, seasoned U.N. watchers are concentrating on two possible scenarios, depending on how energetic the U.S. is in its effort to preserve Taipei's seat...
