Former Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg, the chief U.S. delegate, arrived in Belgrade with a big smile and a deft phrase, promising to promote "detente with a human face." Next day the Soviet Union's Yuli Vorontsov invited Goldberg to lunch at a Belgrade restaurant; the Russians picked up the tab. By the luck of the draw, both delivered their opening remarks on the same day. Confident and assured, Vorontsov boasted that the new Soviet constitution that had just been adopted embodied all the basic principles of the Helsinki accord. He pointedly warned that "cooperation in humanitarian and other...
There was U.S. Ambassador Albert ("Bud") Sherer strolling arm in arm with Soviet Diplomat, Yuli Vorontsov through the glass and concrete Sava Corference Center outside Belgrade. Both looked as if they had just pulled off some master stroke of detente. As a matter of fact they had. After seven weeks of edgy deliberations to decide the date, duration agenda and procedures for a higher-level conference this autumn, following up the 1975 Helsinki accord, the envoys of 35 nations reached an agreement last week in a surprisingly conciliatory spirit...

The obvious aim: to limit discussion on violations of the human rights provisions of the Helsinki accords. In addition, the Russians will press for what they vaguely term "positive criticism" that would stress...
...Washington, Yuly M. Vorontsov, the chargé d'affaires of the Russian embassy, was a frequent visitor in the office of State's Sisco. Their exchange amounted, in essence, to the U.S.'s urging the Russians to get the Syrians to withdraw their tanks, while the U.S.S.R. warned the U.S. to stay out and to keep Israel out. Kissinger even attended an official Egyptian social affair on Tuesday night, where Vorontsov loudly demanded to know why the U.S. had not responded to the Soviet note. While enthralled guests stared, Kissinger was overheard to say that there was no need...
