...know whether you are aware of our interview in TIME magazine in which Soviet Party Chief Brezhnev said that he is tired of talking about the Chinese. I wonder if there could be a limited agreement that Brezhnev will not talk about China, and you will not talk about the Soviet Union...
Like Buckley's rag, er, magazine. Come to think of it, Buckley's for legalizing grass, usually under the euphemism, de-criminalization.

In Algeria, whoever is chosen President, I think there will be ten years of instability. [As for Syrian President Hafez Assad], I wonder what would happen to him if he applied what I am applying here: shutting down the concentration camps, bringing in a permanent constitution, a parliamentary system, a multiparty system. The Syrian leaders would not survive one hour...
