...does not regard the presence of North Vietnamese troops in South Viet Nam as an insurmountable problem. In the eleven days of savage bombings, he strengthened the Thieu regime as much as he could, at a heavy cost to his own international prestige. Nixon would like to achieve a truce before Jan. 20, the beginning of his second term...
...just outside territorial waters off The Netherlands, these vessels beam a mixture of pop music, disk-jockey egos and insistent commercials into homes otherwise served only by relatively sedate Dutch broadcasting.

East-West relations could continue to expand on a government-to-government level, whatever the internal conditions in the East bloc. But without a flow of ideas and increased travel, especially from East to West, the vaunted era of detente will be merely an armed truce rather than a period of genuinely relaxed tensions. For those caught inside the East-bloc borders it will also be a period of repression and pretense. TIME'S Strobe Talbott talked to one East-bloc professor and author, who shrugged: "We have...
