...arrival in Paris was marked by pageantry appropriate for the first trip to Western Europe by the top leader of the Chinese people. After Hua's American-built 707 jet rolled up at Orly Airport, he stepped onto an "extralong" red carpet for a brief walk to an Alouette helicopter and a 15-minute flight to the Esplanade des Invalides, where 150 mounted members of the elite Republican Guard were drawn up in splendid array.

Determined to paddle his own canoe in the West, Vladas Cesiunas, 39, slipped away from a Soviet sports team at Frankfurt airport in August, while en route to the World Canoe Championships in Duisburg. A gold medal winner in the 1972 Olympics, the Soviet canoeing star was quickly granted political asylum in West Germany, and thus became the first of the well-known Soviet sport and dance personalities who have defected to the West in the past two months, a group that includes Bolshoi Ballet Star Alexander Godunov and Skaters Oleg Protopopov and Ludmila Belousova...
