Headline phase is not an action round, thus preventing the US from gaining the 
1 vp.  

But since Defectors cancels the Soviet headline then Defectors cancels itself 
meaning that the headline phase is no longer cancelled so Defectors is in 
effect canceling the headline, etc ... thus setting up an infinite paradox loop 
that may harm the fabric of space and time itself.  

But hey ... 1 vp is 1 vp.

  I'm the USSR.  I have the #103 Defectors Card (US).  It's text is as
  follows:

  ---8<---8<---8<---
  Play in Headline Phase to cancel USSR Headline event, including
  Scoring Card. Canceled card returns to Discard Pile. If Defectors
  played by USSR during Soviet action round, US gains 1 VP (unless
  played on the Space Race).
  ---8<---8<---8<---

  If I play this Card in the Headline Phase, does the US gain 1 VP?  It
  explicitly says "if Defectors played by USSR during Soviet *action
  round*, US gains 1 VP".  I'd be playing it during the Headline Phase
  or is the Headline Phase still considered an Action Round?  HELP! :)
