...small, private dinner last October, Austria's Ambassador to the United Nations, Kurt Waldheim, played host to Soviet Ambassador Yakov Malik and George Bush of the U.S. Rising for a toast, Malik ponderously wished Waldheim, who was campaigning hard for the secretary-generalship of the U.N., fulfillment of "all his wishes."

The Security Council unanimously passed a resolution urging Israel to desist from its attempts to change the status of Jerusalem. Soviet Delegate Yakov Malik accused Israel of fascism and racism for building Israeli housing on what had been Arab land. If the plight of Soviet Jews improved, Israeli Ambassador Yosef Tek-oah countered, "the voice of the Soviet Union would be heard with greater respect."
