Prisoner exchanges in wars shape endgame deals
The article contrasts Korea and Vietnam, noting that formal POW exchanges became a key to peace settlements in Korea 1953 and are likely part of the Vietnam accord. It recalls Operation Little Switch and Big Switch, totals of 4,428 recovered in Korea, 74,000 enemy prisoners exchanged, and the 33 days actual return versus 60 planned. It also covers postwar accounting for missing U.S. personnel and the ongoing NDR demands for access to camps.

Amin seizes foreign firms and tea estates in Uganda
Idi Amin announced a broad nationalization taking over an American television sales firm International Television Sales and seven British firms plus all foreign tea estates. Licenses of some foreign trading companies may not be renewed next year. The move targets foreign influence, with plans to rename public places and potentially Lake Victoria with regional consultation. Britain condemns the seizure seeks compensation, while some British aid personnel may stay only at local salary rates. Separately, Kissinger named Man of the Year by An Nahar. Brandt marks 59th birthday four days after second-term inauguration.
