...Pope spoke of himself then as a Slavic Pope--a statement which seems to indicate that he is trying to unify Christians in Eastern Europe, Williams said. The Pope may eventually try to go to the Soviet Union as a guest of the patriarch of Moscow, he added

...Soviets' reply was clearly positive. After my press statement, construction of port facilities ceased. But nothing with the Soviets ever works this simply. The Soviet sub tender and salvage tug left Cienfuegos on Oct. 10, but rounded the island and arrived once again in Cienfuegos on Nov. 7. I protested angrily to Dobrynin on Nov. 14 and told him later that servicing submarines in or from Cuban ports would "lead to the most grave situation between the U.S. and the Soviet Union...

...Soviets tried to build a nuclear submarine base in Cuba in 1970. The entire second excerpt concerns what Kissinger caUs the agony of Viet Nam": the unannounced bombing of Cambodia and the attack on the sanctuaries there; the secret negotiations in Paris-how the premature "peace is at hand" statement came to be made; the Christmas bombing; the turmoil caused by antiwar protesters in the U.S.; and the peace agreement.
