Tsarapkin's "concession," hedged with qualifications, came at the 132nd session in Geneva. Such inchworm progress has been characteristic of all postwar disarmament negotiations. In 14 years of dickering so complex that even the participants have trouble keeping the record straight, East and West have achieved only one concrete measure-a temporary suspension of nuclear testing, which expires, so far as the U.S. is concerned, Dec. 31. The U.S. is talking about resuming underground tests. And France made clear last week at the U.N. that unless "the first three atomic powers renounce their nuclear armament," it intends to explode...

Part of Playwright Chayefsky's purpose in doing this is to cast light on the world of reality, to set up symbolisms, set speculation going. At this more complex level, The Tenth Man fails.

But space probers have found that it has a geography as complex as the maze of pipes and conduits under a downtown city street. Last week the Army Signal Research and Development Laboratory at Fort Monmouth, N.J. reported the discovery of a new and unsuspected duct of ionized particles that leads magnetic waves around the earth...

The certain prospect of arbitration if all else failed, plus the uncertainty of when...

By 1963 U.S. lines will build five more of their own terminals, completing Idlewild's $150 million decentralized Terminal City passenger complex...
