...news stories in 1980 (until then, only criticism and commentary were signed). To improve and broaden coverage, Cave started six new sections: American Scene (1978), Video (1981), Design (1981), Computers (1982), Food (1984) and two weeks ago, Health & Fitness. He commissioned special sections on the 1984 Olympics, the 40th anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing, and the Children of War, and devoted virtually entire issues to the Soviet Union (1980), Japan (1983) and Immigrants...
...reforms have not gone far enough, particularly in terms of political rights. The latest example of this phenomenon came two weeks ago, when an anti-Japanese protest went out of control.

The rhetoric level will increase this week as both Shevardnadze and Shultz give major speeches to the U.N. General Assembly at the opening of its 40th session. The Soviets continue to build up the summit as a "window of opportunity" for a major breakthrough in arms control that may not arise again "for a very, very long time." The U.S. just as resolutely tries to play down such talk as "wishful thinking." At his press conference, Reagan...
...birds as part of the Million Cranes project sponsored by Ploughshares, a local peace group. The project's aim, Koyama explained in an accompanying letter, was to send 1,000 paper cranes to each of 1,000 influential leaders around the world as a gesture for peace on the 40th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima. Koyama chose TIME's publisher, she wrote, because TIME is "a widely read magazine that informs many people every week." She added, "Please use your influence to make people realize there are no winners in a nuclear war, and one must never happen...
