...Washington Post Columnist Maxine Cheshire says will probably be "the most expensive and spectacular in the Nixon Administration." The Blounts are thinking of living at Watergate; so are Emil ("Bus") Mosbacher, who will be Chief of Protocol, and Nixon's longtime personal secretary, Rose Mary Woods. Also in northwest Washington will be the Romneys, at the Shoreham West apartments. George Romney's office is too close to permit his customary four-mile morning jog, but the new Secretary of HUD will probably lope off to work through Rock Creek Park as his chauffeur delivers lunch-a meat sandwich...
...first time in the long war, U.S. and Viet Cong envoys met last week to conclude successfully the release of U.S. prisoners. Led by a lieutenant colonel, the U.S. delegation had met with the Viet Cong in the same field 50 miles northwest of Saigon during the Christmas truce, but the Communists had not brought the three men they had promised to free. Both encounters were rigged by the Viet Cong with an eye to making as much propaganda mileage as possible for the National Liberation Front. The U.S., naturally, did not like the situation, but was willing to endure...

In a swampy paddyfield 50 miles northwest of Saigon, five unarmed American officers faced Viet Cong envoys dressed in grubby khakis during a 24-hour Christmas Day truce. Their futile talks, lasting two hours and 22 minutes, were supposed to deal with the release of three G.I.s. The Communists, who met with the Americans beneath a Viet Cong flag, seemed principally concerned with obtaining some form of U.S. recognition of the National Liberation Front, the political arm of the Viet Cong...
...American, which already flies to Japan from California, got new routes from Seattle and New York over the North Pole to Japan. Northwest Airlines, also a Pacific veteran, will get an additional route to Japan via Hawaii. Result: more competition between Pan Am and Northwest, but also more opportunity for each to attract traffic. Finally, the Flying Tiger Line landed an all-cargo route to Southeast Asia...
