He loves to talk late at night, trying to wear down his opponents, and often stays at the table until the small hours. A joke about his 1971 visit to France is being recalled these days in Washington. As Brezhnev left Paris, a French journalist remarked: "One more negotiating session...
...HOUSING: Perhaps East Cambridge's greatest fear concerns the "ripple" effect of redevelopment.
