Dear Henry,

What a pity we missed you in London. A kind friend had lent us his mews house in Belgravia which was perfect in all but one respect....no answering service. We were so busy trying to see and do everything simultaneously that we came home only to sleep and that briefly. Lady Kennet sent us a note which along with your letter was just forwarded.

Let's see if we can do better on this try. I plan to be in Washington Dec. 14th and 15th arriving late Monday afternoon. Paul says he has a meeting with you until seven that evening. Any chance for dinner, after that? If you're busy, perhaps I might come by and say, "Hello," in between your meetings. It would be so nice to see you during a period of non-crisis.

Of course, it will be a crisis period for me as I'm coming to Washington to set the stage for a three year grant from NSF. With federal funding being what it is, I may just be looking for a job in the near future.

Hope you'll have some time.

Dear Henry,

No, I am not in hiding. I think I have not called because I've
been intimidated by your dazzling publicity......"most sought
after bachelor, international idol, center-fold sex-object, etc."
It all makes the folks back home feel a wee bit rustic. If you
have just had dinner with the Onassis-es, how can I come breezing
in with fresh gossip from the Harvard Faculty Club?

In my new role as "token" woman, I am in Washington quite often.
To give you some idea of how the H.E.W. has improved my lot in
life - I am on an advisory committee for the National Academy of
Science, I consult for the National Science Foundation and the
Office of Science and Technology, and am a member of a 5 "man"
committee for the American Assoc. for the Advancement of Science.
The four other kids are: Allen Astin, John Knowles, Walter Hickel,
and Earl Warren. How do you like that???

Actually, I was in Washington, the 14th and 15th of November but
Paul Doty assured me you would be in Paris. Can you imagine my
dismay when I read the newspaper the following morning and discovered
that you had been at some great soiree at the Palm. But then, of
course, the paper noted that you were not without a companion.

I even tried to reach you during your trip to London. Thought I'd
fill you in on Pugwash and conversations with Eric Roll, Herman Bondi,
and a few others. No luck in reaching you and my chance to meet
that great diplomat, Ambassador Annenberg, was thwarted.

So....I am not in hiding. I cannot honestly say I'm shy...just
dazzled by the aura. If there ever is a minute, I'd enjoy filling
you in on local trivia...the work I did for Derek Bok, Paul Doty's
new empire, a few local scandals and the usual Harvard self-preoccu-
pations. Should I be looking for a house for you????

Keep in touch.

Dear Henry:

I will be in Washington March 16th and 17th for meetings of The National Research Council. Any chance we might get together? I can always bring along my Balenciaga ballgown for a recherche event, but failing that would settle for breakfast with Warren Beatty. Seriously, I would enjoy a chance to chat, if only briefly.

The precarious state of the dollar, the murder of the American diplomats and the problems of aid to Vietnam are, in Cambridge, as nothing compared with the Carl Kaysen contretemps, the impending appointment of Dullop's successor and the fate of the Bok three-year B.A. proposal. My own obsession which has led to a loss of favor at court is for a genuine Radcliffe-Harvard merger. I estimate that Walter Hickel and I currently share a similar relationship to power in our respective governments.

If you think you might have a minute, I can be reached at 617-547-6370 (home) or during the day at my office 495-4704. I shall be staying at the Watergate.

Norman joins me in sending best wishes.

Dear Henry:

How very kind of you to fit me into your schedule. It seems to me I spent the entire time talking yet barely scratched the surface of what I had in mind.

forgot to tell you that Elizabeth drew a beautiful picture for Norman after he gave an informal talk about drugs to the 8th grade at Buckingham. She wrote "Thank you" underneath it and all the girls signed it. It is so sensitive and well done that we have had it framed. You might also be interested to hear that Norman found the little ladies extremely well informed on drugs - hard, soft, uppers, downers, they know the field!

Also, Ronnie Grierson although moving to Brussels in an official EEC position does not, I think, have Dahrendorf's job. Churchill's son-in-law, the former British Ambassador to France (Christopher Soames ?), has it - I am sure to Dahrendorf's dismay.

Have a splendid vacation in Acapulco.

If I don't see you in Washington this spring perhaps we can meet in London during July. Interested in renting the Griersons' house??

Thanks again for a delightful breakfast.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

I am sorry Ben Bradlee wasn't there yesterday when you came by. He is anxious that you should know that he meant no discourtesy. The invitation was accepted tentatively by his wife, who did not know that he already had another commitment. But he would very much like to come to dinner sometime in the next week or two, if you can make it. He is not free on Monday, January 24th or Tuesday, January 25th, but he could easily make it on Thursday or Friday, the 27th or 28th. Would any of these suit you, or would you like to suggest another date? I got the impression that he might be open to some of the arguments about the Anderson papers that you put to me.

In case you want an outline of the analysis I put to you last night, I enclose the column on it which is to be published in the Washington Post in the next day or two.

I rather suspect that most official analysts (including some on your staff) will disagree with my argument. But then, as you will see from the enclosed bio sheet, it is my bad luck that most official analysts have usually disagreed with me - when they said, for instance, that there was no Sino-Soviet dispute, that Khrushchev would not fall, that there would be no invasion of Czechoslovakia.

You made a great impression on Vladimir Ashkenazi, who says his admirers are usually awestruck in his presence - and that it was a nice change for him to be awestruck in turn. So I'm taking him to lunch with Fulbright today.

ZONZA COLUMN 3

Mr. Hsueh-ming Hsueh-kang, a member of the Executive Committee of the Chinese Kuomai Party, said Sunday that the Chinese Communists had made a deal with the South, and that the Communists had already been rejected by the South. The Chinese Communists had made a deal with the South, and that the deal had not been made properly, and that it should be formally submitted.

The main issue now concerns the News. If Mr. Nixon really does offer a final troop withdrawal date in exchange for their release, a deal might well be possible. His claim that this offer has already been made has, in effect, been rejected by the South. The Communists have publicly endorsed Senator Hsuei-han Hsuei-kang, who has publicly endorsed Senator McGovern's claim - by broadcasting it - that the offer had not been made properly, and that it should be formally submitted.

All a further signal can mean from the Chinese party paper, "Shan Dan." Mr. Nixon, it said, keeps talking about the P.W. issue. But if he really wants to see the end of the war, it insisted, he must set a terminal date for the withdrawal of all American forces from Vietnam.

"Shan Dan" said nothing about Hsuei-han Hsuei-kang, the Chinese general, expanded the Taigu region. It was signalling that, in spite of what the Communist leaders in Paris say about his being assassinated, this

Background Sheet on

VICTOR ZORZA

CSIS Writer-in-Residence, 1971/72

Victor Zorza became the *Manchester Guardian's* expert on the communist world in the early fifties. His column, which also appears in the *Washington Post*, is widely syndicated throughout the world.

Mr. Zorza's unique blend of academic study with journalistic analysis has enabled him repeatedly to anticipate some of the most crucial developments in the communist world. In the late fifties, he engaged in what has since become a famous debate with other academic and government experts. Zorza argued that there was a secret Sino-Soviet dispute in progress, and that the two main communist allies would ultimately split into two hostile camps. The other experts said he was wrong.

Summing up his earlier analyses in LOOK Magazine in January 1959, Zorza wrote: "Friction between Moscow and Peking is just beginning, but it may yet become the most significant development in the long cold war that lies ahead." His argument attracted

attention on Capitol Hill, and a Senate Subcommittee enquired about the Administration's own view of this unconventional analysis. An agreed government estimate, derived from the combined resources of the CIA, the State Department, and the independent scholars on whose knowledge the government drew, was put to the Senate Subcommittee by Assistant Secretary of State Walter S. Robertson. He flatly rejected the Zorza analysis. "Peiping," he said, "works closely with Moscow." While he would not deny "the possibility" of friction between the two communist powers, he argued that:

> "it would be wishful thinking to forecast that either power would allow any differences between them to outweigh the dominant practical military, political and economic advantages they derive through continued close cooperation."

Zorza's analytical articles anticipated the fall of Khrushchev shortly before the event, at a time when most other experts held that the Soviet leader was unchallengeable. As Robert McNamara said, in summing up the US Government's own analyses, "the fall of Khrushchev was not anticipated," and it "came as a surprise" to the West.

Long before the Chinese leadership dispute which led to the "Cultural Revolution" had come into the open, Zorza's analyses described the Peking conflict and identified some of the issues in it. Again his analysis was disputed by other writers, who opposed it with the then conventional view that the Chinese leaders would never fall out with each other in the way the Soviet leaders had done.

[LC]

Zorza's success in anticipating these significant events is the result of a highly specialized method of analysis which he pioneered and which has subsequently been adopted by many other students of communist affairs.

Zorza has been awarded the British equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize, the "Journalist of the Year" award, "for predicting, with astonishing accuracy and against the flow of informed opinion" the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia.

Victor Zorza was born in Poland, spent the early years of World War II in Russia, and the second half of the war with the Polish Air Force in Britain. After the war he was with the British Broadcasting Corporation, and began writing for the *Guardian* in 1950. His first article in the *Guardian* drew attention to an event the significance of which had been overlooked in the world press, but which was in his view of considerable political importance: the transfer of a party secretary named Khrushchev from Kiev to Moscow.

Anglo-US nuclear pact
runs till 1974

The Anglo-American nuclear exchange agreement of 1958 will now last at least until the end of 1974, Mr. Healey said yesterday. The agreement provided for either party to terminate it if 12 months' notice was given in December, 1968. If no such notice was given the agreement stipulates that it runs automatically through until December, 1973, when there would be a similar 12-month notice period for either party wishing to end the agreement at the end of 1974. No such notice was given in December, Mr. Healey said.

There are two subordinate parts of the agreement, however, which are up for renewal in Washington —both relating to nuclear materials as opposed to the articles on nuclear information, which are covered by the general agreement. The first, which gives Britain the right to buy nuclear marine propulsion materials from America, is now being considered by Congress, before being renewed. Mr. Healey said there had been no sign that it would not receive a smooth passage in Congress.

The second detail concerns weapons-grade fissile materials: particularly associated with the trigger mechanisms of hydrogen bombs. Mr. Healey said this agreement had to be renewed before the end of the year. There was no reason to believe that it would not be renewed.

The fissile materials could all be acquired by Britain on her own,

he added, but this would cost more.

Britain's nuclear research programme at Aldermaston will continue at about the same scale as in the past. The work will be concentrated on increasing the penetrative ability of the Polaris warheads, which at present contain small multiple warheads. The other work will involve repair and renewal of existing nuclear weapons.
