Wild Boar. Halfway through his journey last week, Agnew was looking, listening and, in his effort to please, practicing what might be called Rotarian diplomacy. After a formal Nepalese dinner of guinea fowl and wild boar, he spoke in glowing exaggeration about the significance of the traditional namaste greeting. The act of placing hands together in prayerlike position, observed Agnew, "may well do more to ease the tension of the world today than all the diplomatic discussions." In talks with King Mahendra, Agnew said that President Nixon "understands" Nepal's friendship with China, but cautioned that the prospects...

Cleaver dismissed Carmichael's argument, saying: "A revolutionary movement calls for unity. Capitalism thrives on the kind of divisions some people want to keep...
...Communist pressure grows in the Middle East, where the Soviets have in the past been far more active than the Chinese. Competition between the two Communist powers in Syria ends. In Africa, where Moscow and Peking have also been rivals in the courtship of established governments and extremist groups, Guinea, the Sudan and several other countries find it difficult to cope with unified Communist pressure. The Soviets, certain that their back door is safe, are willing to take slightly greater risks in the Middle East, but still want to avoid outright...
