...catch the Red Guard fever. But last week it lashed out against Red Guard posters that reported a plot to overthrow the North Korean government. Cried Pyongyang: "An intolerable slander." Japan is disillusioned about its recent new moves toward Red China and fretful about its carefully cultivated and growing trade with the Chinese. Pakistan, which has beea edging toward friendship with Peking, now finds itself peering un- comfortably into an abyss. Most of all, China's travail tears at the millions of overseas Chinese who are scattered around the mainland periphery, many of whom have families back home that...
...excuse. The two governments are denouncing each other with such frequency-and often taking action to match the denunciations-that the Sino-Soviet rift has become a fact of history far more firmly established than the Sino-Soviet bloc ever was. Last week, for example, a meeting of Soviet trade unions branded Mao Tse-tung as "chauvinist, nationalist, anti-Leninist, anti-working class and anti-people." Peking replied that it would "sweep away all vermin, be it U.S. imperialism or Soviet revisionism." The feud has virtually evaporated all ties save diplomatic relations. Students from both countries have returned to their...
...silence from the French and a few protocol snubs to put Wilson in his place, the atmosphere warmed when Wilson and Foreign Secretary George Brown came face to face with De Gaulle.

Thus, at a state dinner in Rome's tapestry-hung Quirinale Palace, Podgorny broke bread and chatted ami- ably with Fiat's Gianni Agnelli, whose company's struggle with Communist trade unions embittered the immediate postwar years; with Giorgio Valerio, the head of Montecatini-Edison, the electric giant, whose hatred for the left is so virulent that he considered the center-left coalition in Italy little short of treason; and with such other capitalist barons as Olivetti's Aurelio Peccei, E.N.I...
Podgorny made a few ritualistic cracks about the U.S. in Viet Nam, and Italian President Giuseppe Saragat riposted gently that everyone should seek "mutual understanding." But there were few differences about trade, in which Italy is already heavily involved with the Soviet Union. The Italians did express some concern over their persistent trade deficit with Russia, which ran close to $100 million in 1966 as a result of large imports of Russian crude oil. Italy exported some $80 million (mainly in textiles and machinery) to Russia last year and intends to see that those figures rise as rapidly as possible...
