...executive positions in the Soviet party and state. The hierarchy that enjoys the strongest representation within the Politburo is the Communist Party's vast administrative bureaucracy, which functions, in effect, as a parallel government in the Soviet Union. For each area covered by the ministerial offices?heavy industry, agriculture, propaganda, etc.?the party maintains a counterpart agency and staff.

So was the fallout from an incident that occurred earlier in the week that the Israelis called "the Goldmann Affair." Dr. Nahum Goldmann, 74, is a Polish-born Zionist leader who maintains that for the sake of peace Israel ought to be a small neutralized protectorate "of the whole of mankind," including Arabs. Through political contacts outside Israel, Goldmann apparently managed to interest Nasser in a meeting to explore possible peace terms.
