...earlier been tested unsuccessfully as an anticancer drug, has been used experimentally-and with encouraging results-on a variety of herpes infections since 1970, Dr. Alford and his associates are still not sure exactly how it works. They admit that further research must also be done on dosage limits, mode of administration and possible side effects before the drug, which until now has been used only for investigational purposes, becomes available more generally. But they are confident that adenine arabinoside, which has also shown some encouraging effects against such other members of the herpes family as the viruses that cause...
...National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski says, "not merely to put a hold on the arms race, but to obtain increasingly significant reductions." The Soviets, however, viewed Carter's proposal for drastic cuts as one-sided, as a threat to their military security and as a violation of the established mode of U.S.-Soviet diplomacy. It was a mistake for Vance to spring a sharp revision of the weapons ceilings, which had been approved by Ford and Brezhnev at the 1974 Vladivostok summit, on Soviet leaders whose basic conservatism and advancing age (Politburo average: 67) make them unable to respond quickly...

French Philosopher Jean-Francis Revel, author of Without Marx or Jesus, tries to analyze this alarming trend in a book filled with mordant wit and intensity. As a kind of historical prosecuting attorney, Revel puts Joseph Stalin in the dock, then offers witnesses to the crime of totalitarianism. It was the murderous Russian dictator who showed the 20th century how to construct a hermetically sealed tyranny, says Revel. It is the Stalinist model that is being sedulously imitated...
...writes, "it's hard to tell if you're dealing with the real true illusion or the false one." An author who distinguishes between true and false illusions must be carefully watched. Babitz calls the ten pieces in her book "tales," but they clearly belong to the mode of parafictions: a mix of autobiography, journalism and the techniques of the short story...
