When Secretary of State Cyrus Vance walked down the ramp of his Air Force jet into the glare of spotlights at Moscow's Vnukovo Airport late last week, he was, symbolically at least, taking a mighty leap in the dark. TIME Correspondent Christopher Ogden, who arrived with the Vance party, cabled that Vance's welcome was warm enough: "He was greeted properly by his Soviet counterpart, Andrei Gromyko, and he and his wife were given the traditional bouquet of red carnations. They posed for pictures with Gromyko on a clear, 35° night and, after a short...

...pilot of a fogbound jet circling over Moscow's Vnukovo Airport for an instrument landing was startled recently when he began receiving radio signals from "Prince" and "Angel." Clearly these communications did not come from the control tower. Equally bemused were listeners to an official radio broadcast on Ukrainian industrial production, which was interrupted by this message: "Ya Dunai! Ya Dunai! Mal-chiki i devochki, slushaite menya! Nachinayu peredachu dlya molodezhi Marinskogo Raiona [Danube calling! Danube calling! Listen, all you cats and chicks out there! This is a program for young people in the Marinka District...

Arriving at Moscow's Vnukovo Airport, Kissinger announced that he expected the talks, which will also cover the Middle East, European security problems and Soviet-American trade relations, to be "full, friendly and constructive." Privately, however, he was somewhat less optimistic. Although Kissinger, in the post-Nixon era, is freed from the burden of representing a President of precarious tenure, he must now contend with Soviet uncertainty about the continuity of foreign policy between past and present Washington Administrations. Soviet diplomats have been inquiring about the chances of Kissinger's own survival in office-which looks solid...

...March, and it is Moscow. Early Sunday evening, Air Force Two was scheduled to roll up to a ramp at Vnukovo airport as U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, 50, arrived on his sixth and potentially most important visit to the Soviet Union since he became the foreign-policy plenipotentiary of Richard Nixon's Administration. In the Russian capital, the policymakers of the two ranking superpowers were to review a number of issues that affected not only East-West detente but the entire world...

...Allende was more concerned with his reception in Moscow-and with good reason. Only the Russians seemed willing, or able, to extend the financial aid needed to bail out the Chilean economy. As it turned out, Allende got somewhat less than he hoped for. At Moscow's Vnukovo Airport last week he was met by Soviet President Nikolai Podgorny and Premier Aleksei Kosygin, who assured him that "you are not alone in your struggle." In subsequent talks, the Soviet leaders agreed to increase economic aid (currently running at about $20 million a year), but they were not prepared...
