In November, Vance negotiated a peaceful settlement of the Cyprus crisis; in February he soothed irate South...

"Yes, we are very grateful for inadequate housing, grateful...
...million or more worth of credit in hard currency. Dubček will no doubt gladly take the money, but he is also eager to make sure that the Russians do not revert from the carrot to the stick and cut off the oil and raw-material shipments upon which his country depends. As a hedge against any loss of Soviet oil, for example, he is reportedly negotiating with Iran for millions of tons...
