...deal with Washington through Moscow's ambassador, Anatoli Dobrynin. But Carter and Secretary of State Cyrus Vance informed the Kremlin that Toon was a necessary channel for private negotiations with Brezhnev. And in mid-June, when Carter sent Brezhnev a letter proposing a summit, Carter hinted that unless Brezhnev received Toon, Carter would refuse to meet with Dobrynin. So Washington professed to take some satisfaction from Brezhnev's first private meeting with Toon...

...emissions while also cutting gasoline consumption, the automakers persuaded the Environmental Protection Agency to extend the deadline to 1978. Now they want still more time and less stringent standards. The Senate is willing to give them until 1979, the House until 1980. Detroit could be caught in a squeeze. Unless standards are soon set that it can meet, the upcoming 1978 models cannot be certified for sale...
