Characteristically, Atwater is going all out against this latest adversary. He opted last week to undergo a specialized treatment, in which tubes containing massive doses of radioactive isotopes were implanted directly into the tumor in the right lobe of his brain. After five days, the tubes were removed, and Atwater was expected to return home this week. In three months, doctors will test the results...
That did not mean relations were on the smoothest possible track. A "tough- love working relationship" was the term White House press secretary Marlin Fitzwater used to describe U.S.-Soviet dealings these days. Tough in more ways than one. During Shevardnadze's five sessions with Baker, some serious snags appeared in the Strategic Arms Reduction Talks (START). Afterward, a senior Soviet official said it was "impractical" to assume that a pact limiting the most destructive portions of the superpower arsenal would be signed at the Bush-Gorbachev meeting. Nonetheless both U.S. and Soviet sides agreed that all the major issues...

Disappointment that a weekend in Maine was not a chintz-covered, Ralph Lauren-infested affair but rather one where the couch was acrylic and the drink Diet Coke is stretched to five pages. A lunch interview with Philippe de Montebello is a struggle to win his admiration. When she drops a name he recognizes, she writes, "Once again we are on equal ground." Equal ground with the director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art? So eager for approval, she becomes the journalistic equivalent of Sally Field at the Academy...
...Stride Rite Corp. of Cambridge, Mass., the first private company to establish this type of facility. The $700,000 pilot program, which opened last month after three years of planning, consists of adjoining centers that allow easy mingling and interaction between 55 children, from 18 months to five years old, and 24 elders over 60. Separated only by windows and hallways, the old and the young have plenty of opportunities to visit one another. Shared activities such as cooking and birthday parties are planned by the staff, but informal get-togethers happen spontaneously. "I tell my friends what they...
