November 27, 1972
(including highlights from November 22-24)
Speculation on what happened at the peace talks and where RN/HAK
will go from here led all major papers except the Trib. and CBS/NBC
Sat. (No net TV news Sun.) Reporters w/no official word on the reason
for the recess relied on numerous sources for their generally pessimistic
dispatches, w/most coming to conclusion talks "bogged down" (Rather,)
"stumbled" (Trib.) "deadlocked" (Sun), "jammed" (News), because of
problems surrounding NVA w/drawal from SVN and policing the ceasefire.
Several, including the Times, speculated US goal had been to demonstrate
to Thieu that HAK had tried to secure SVN terms and now will tell Thieu
the choice is between indefinite war and concessions -- and the US won't
support war. Some Sun. wires had more optimistic note as they focused
on RN's "confidence" that a "right settlement" will be made.
RN's trip to NYC, and particularly his -handed handshake w/Arab
and Israeli, received wide media coverage w/p. 1 pics Sat. (Post, Times,
Sun, News, Globe) and generally inside reports and CBS/NBC Sat. All
noted cheering, applauding crowds at various stops. Times Sun. head:
"RN's Visit Here Hits Festive Note. 11 Sun. News centerfold had 5 pics
of R.N, PN and Julie.
Other major stories: A W. German was killed after he held an
Air Canada stewardess hostage for 22 hours and threatened to blow up
the plane (Trib. lead)
Post's #2 story began a series on the energy crisis.
Sun and Trib led Sat. w/local stories on schools losing battle of
integration

is alive in S. Amer. (#2 story in Sun. Trib.). HAK/Tho talks led elsewhere
