...Sipping tea at the Presidential Palace, Premier Pham Van Dong and Kissinger's familiar Paris adversary Le Duc Tho spent some of their time with the American in replaying the Paris talks, trying to assess each other's motives and tactics.

Evidently, Chairman Bluhdorn thinks that the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co., the money-losing supermarket chain, has a few cookies on its shelves that no one else knows about. Last week G. & W. offered a minimum price to buy 3,750,000 shares of A. & P. stock-enough, when combined with the 1,046,000 that G.&W. already owns, to give...
