Part of the problem with present American policy is the rigidity of its stance towards Communist powers. For example, in 1945 and 1946, when the Communist Ho Chi Minh government established itself, Ho appealed to the U.S. for aid, and looked upon the United States and China as his closest allies. American support for the French war soon corrected Ho's views...
When U.S. jets began hitting North Viet Nam last week, the most surprised Communist of all was probably Soviet Premier Aleksei Kosygin. There he sat in Hanoi, exchanging pleasantries with North Viet Nam's Ho Chi Minh and chatting desultorily about possible Soviet military aid. Then-bang!-bombs were falling only 250 miles away. Aleksei was on the spot, and his position brought into sharp focus the whole question of Communist-bloc relations...
Hastily concluding an "appropriate agreement" to send arms to Hanoi's Ho, Kosygin flew off in his official plane to Peking, where he was greeted at the airport by seven flower girls, eight antiaircraft guns, and Red Chinese Premier Chou Enlai. To top that, Party Boss Mao Tse-tung, who hadn't spoken to a Soviet leader since 1959, was waiting in the sprawling Congress Palace. During a 2½-hour secret session, Kosygin and Mao no doubt talked defense. The New China News Agency even published a photo of them that showed seriousness and mutual dislike...
...appeared that Kosygin's peregrinations-impromptu as they were-had paid off with a tenuous, temporary and superficial unity within the Communist world. But they did little to serve Moscow's cause in the basic ideological feud with Peking. Neither North Viet Nam's Ho nor North Korea's Kim showed any sign of wanting to attend the March "unity" conference in Moscow, and Mao, for all his seeming cooperation, almost certainly remained opposed to the new Soviet leaders' ideology...
Beyond Belief. When a pro aces, it's kind of ho-hum. The world-record holder of holes in one, Art Wall has 35 aces to his credit after 16 years on the tour-and has yet to make a dime out of any of them. "I don't even talk about it," he says morosely. Neither does Jerry Krueger, a California pro, who got his fourth in last week's Bob Hope Desert Classic. The trouble was that he shot it on the seventh hole in the third round. The Chrysler people were offering a convertible...
