...supporters in the vote on admission, has all along backed the Palestinian fedayeen, often against Soviet-supported Arab governments. To continue to do so would risk alienating many Arab countries that Peking hopes to enlist as allies. Probably the touchiest question of all is posed by the India-Pakistan standoff. China is a firm friend of the Islamabad government, which is suppressing in East Pakistan precisely the kind of revolutionary movement that Peking is pledged to support elsewhere...

As an example, Reston cites John Kenneth Galbraith, who has written a number of books on his experience as ambassador to India, but who failed to catch the ear of the nation because "he wasn't getting to the people when they are most attentive [when they read the newspaper]." If Galbraith had written an article syndicated for the major U.S. newspapers during the India-Pakistan crisis, he would have had a huge and attentive audience. To be able to use these people, newspapers could hold a special space reserved for experts in a number of different...
