...Fear for the life of Ivan Dejmal is inspired not only by the pending sentence but also by the psychological pressure he is facing daily. It is unclear how long he will be able to resist, all by himself, the methods of the Czechoslovak secret police. He would not be the first Czechoslovak political prisoner of the seventies to surrender his life "voluntarily," either in investigation custody or upon returning from prison. Fear for his life is further enhanced by the tenacity with which Ivan Dejmal has been persecuted long after he was barred from any political or academic activity...
...fate of some key members of the Lon Nol regime remained unclear. Former Premiers Long Boret and Sirik Matak were assumed to have been arrested by the Communists, along with several hundred lower-level officials who first found refuge in the French embassy compound but were later forced to leave. Some of these may already be dead; a radio broadcast from inside Cambodia told of beheadings, but could not be confirmed. Political trials in Phnom-Penh were said to be beginning...

To still fears of a religious pogrom, Hanoi ordered its conquering troops to revere temples, pagodas and churches. Buddhist flags were hoisted alongside those of North Viet Nam and the P.R.G...

Rudakewych used the erratic Associated Press telex line to Hong Kong to tell his editors that he had malaria but was safe. Cameron cabled CBS: "The situation here is unclear and contradictory. Fresh rumors keep arriving to fuel the worry and apprehension. We return regularly to the hotel to compare rumors and feel some small consolation in our togetherness...
What can effectively take the place of the shuttle now is unclear. Israeli officials last week suggested a revival of proximity talks similar to those held in Secretary of State William Rogers' day. Egyptian and Israeli ambassadors, or even foreign ministers, might resume negotiations in Washington with State Department officials serving as middlemen. Far likelier is a resumption of the suspended peace talks in Geneva. That is the aim of the Soviets, who have not interfered with Kissinger's step-by-step talks as long as they did not rule out a later Geneva meeting in which Moscow...
