...Soviet reaction to Nixon's speech, reported by Tass, said that the U.S. 'remains on its old position of imposing imperialistic terms on the people of Vietnam" at the Paris peace talks...
...first installment of the recollections appears this week in LIFE and 19 foreign publications, and will be published in fuller form in December by Little, Brown under the title Khrushchev Remembers. Several days in advance, Tass carried Khrushchev's name on its wires for the first time in six years, in issuing a statement from him denying that he had "passed on" his reminiscences to any publication.

...treaty provides that the Rumanians will aid the Soviet Union in the event of "an armed attack by a state or group of states." Tass, the official Soviet news organization, insists that this would obligate Rumania to help defend against any Chinese attack on Russia; the Rumanians, who have remained determinedly neutral in the Sino-Soviet struggle, point out that the preamble of the treaty limits military obligations to the area covered by the Warsaw Pact -which does not extend beyond Eastern Europe...
