...latest Soviet offer in Geneva may force Reagan to resolve these disputes over the nature of SDI and its role in arms control. At a special session of the two delegations, Chief Soviet Negotiator Viktor Karpov presented proposals that made an explicit connection between reducing offensive weapons and limiting strategic defense programs. The plan amplifies an informal one the Soviets made last month that sought to set limits on America's SDI program through maintaining continued adherence to the ABM treaty. In making their offer, the Soviets have done precisely what U.S. officials have been wanting them...
...over the SALT II limit. Exactly what are you going to do on SALT? Reagan was asked at his press conference. "We've got several months before we reach that point," Reagan answered, adding that he was waiting to see what the Soviets did on arms control. He and his advisers spent the next day trying to clarify his less than explicit remarks. "The SALT treaty no longer exists," said Speakes brusquely.

Your article on weeding out incompetent doctors (MEDICINE, May 26) makes the error of assuming that state medical boards can act autonomously in controlling dangerous physicians. The chain of effective discipline starts . with reporting the offense, followed by investigation and then the prosecution, none of which are in the hands of a medical board. A physician thought to be incompetent must be accorded full protection of the law and can be punished only after a fair hearing, to which can be added the right of appeal. This is as it should be, but it takes time. Rather than direct criticism...
