...round of secret talks figured to be difficult. Nevertheless, during the long hiatus in the negotiations, some of the issues that Kissinger will raise have somewhat diminished. When he returned to Washington last week after a two-day visit in Saigon, General Haig was able to report that Thieu had begun to yield-though reluctantly-on some of his objections to the nine-point plan...
Protestant extremists in Northern Ireland sometimes threaten that the province might some day follow Rhodesia's example and make a unilateral declaration of independence from Britain. Last week, on a two-day tour of Ulster, British Prime Minister Edward Heath warned of the consequences in the bluntest possible terms. Such an attempt not only would bring about a bloodbath, he said, but if it succeeded, Britain would not pay the new nation "one penny" of the $500 million that it now subsidizes the province with annually...
...million dollars to offer, it was said, to any country that would accept him. As that word was passed, Meyer Lansky, 70, the former Miami gambling king who was ejected from Israel after a two-year stay, took off on a two-day intercontinental odyssey in search of a home. After changing planes in Zurich, he boarded an overnight flight to Rio de Janeiro. But would Brazil let him stay? It did not even let him out of the airport. Neither did Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru or Panama. Inexorably, Lansky's airliner continued its flight to Miami, and there...
...two-day meeting of the International Federation of Air Line Pilots Associations in Mexico City next month, the angry pilots will press hard for a boycott of any country that offers sanctuary to hijackers or even appears to be encouraging them. A boycott would presumably apply to such states as Cuba, Algeria and Libya, which have made a practice of admitting hijackers. But even some of these nations have recently shown that they are getting tired of it. Twice Algeria has returned kidnapers' ransom money to U.S. airlines, and Cuba now jails many of the fugitives...
Clearly, the U.S. election has played a powerful role-on both sides. During his two-day session with Le Duc Tho in Paris last August, Kissinger pressed the argument that Hanoi would do well to settle along the lines of Nixon's May 8 plan. That called for a cease-fire in-place throughout Indochina, and a withdrawal of U.S. troops within four months after release of American P.O.W.s, leaving the political issues to be settled by the Vietnamese themselves. If Nixon were to win a second term, Kissinger argued, the Administration offer could well harden. In September...
