...more than spurring trade, Rumania was out to further establish its independence of Moscow and the new frontiers opening up in Europe. As Bucharest Foreign Minister Corneliu Manescu told the Greeks last week: "We are not influenced by the fact that Greece belongs to NATO and we to the Warsaw Pact. We are making efforts to reach an understanding with other nations, regardless of our position in the Warsaw Pact...
Died. General Tadeusz Komorowski, 71, Polish resistance hero in World War II, best remembered as "General Bor," a tall, wiry cavalry officer who went underground in 1939, led the tragic Warsaw uprising in the summer of 1944, when 40,000 ill-equipped members of the Polish resistance fought a doomed battle against four German divisions for 63 days while Russian troops halted their advance to watch the slaughter from only ten miles away, after which Bor charged Russia with cruel betrayal, claiming the Poles had been promised aid if they rose; of a heart attack; in Woughton on the Green...

Instead, the declaration reiterated Brezhnev's call for a pan-European "security conference" aimed at the simultaneous dismantling of NATO and the Warsaw Pact. When Brezhnev first proposed the conference in March, he wanted to keep the U.S. out of any European settlement. This time, the U.S. role was purposely kept ambiguous. In any case, there was no indication in Western capitals that the NATO nations were ready for such a conference just...
