...clear that in order for U.N. economic sanctions to be effective, South African trade with Rhodesia will have to be stopped. If the Vorster government proves recalcitrant, a U.N. force would have to patrol the South African coast, inspect ships, and allow through only what is deemed essential for South Africa. It might even be necessary to clamp down on railway traffic. Such a project would be frightening for Vorster to consider. A successful economic boycott of Rhodesia might convince the world community that something can be done about South Africa...
...Gilligan reached the "height of irresponsibility" in going all the way and then some for L.B.J.'s spending programs. When Gilligan voted against a measure to bar U.S. aid to countries that allow their shipping to enter North Vietnamese ports, Taft said that the vote indicated "approval of trade with North Viet Nam, the very same nation that is daily killing American men." Gilligan called that statement "a rather indelicate way of resorting to the old tool of McCarthyism...

In the capital of Sofia, where the population has almost tripled (to 800,000) since 1940, new Western-style apartment buildings are sprouting, and Western cigarettes and liquor are becoming plentiful. Three weeks ago, Bulgaria even staged an international trade fair, buying more than $45 million worth of Western wares...
Much of that business went to France, which has become one of Bulgaria's biggest trade partners in the West. French companies also plan to build a synthetic fiber plant, a cosmetic factory, and an auto-tire factory in Bulgaria; and last month Renault signed a $50 million deal for an auto plant 100 miles east of Sofia. Last April, after Bulgaria and France signed a new agreement that will triple trade between the two countries, French Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville visited Sofia and invited Zhivkov to visit France. Zhivkov was happy to oblige...
