...meandering public statements on détente, Brezhnev was clearly talking as much to Jimmy Carter as to his host. The French President, who later quoted Brezhnev as having emphasized that U.S.-Soviet relations were "in a difficult phase," answered back on his own. Military détente, he said, must be accompanied by "ideological détente," i.e., a relaxation of non-military tension between East and West -an idea that infuriated Brezhnev during Giscard's 1975 visit to Moscow...
Molly is quite unlike any play that Britain's Simon Gray has written. Seeing the work in a late dress-rehearsal phase of its world première at Spoleto, one cannot properly evaluate the drama's full potential, but cannot fail to mark a signal change of direction...
...second and equally important phase of upgrading the Minuteman III will begin in the fall of 1979, when the missile's Mk-12 warhead will be replaced with the Mk-12A.

Because the remaining vein segments from the left leg were too narrow, he ordered the right leg opened and its saphenous vein removed. Taking two pieces of this vein, which proved to be of heavier caliber, he anchored them to the aorta; then he attached one to the posterior descending coronary artery, the other to the left anterior descending artery. In effect, he had used the first three bypasses to clear traffic through the clogged local streets-and the aortic...
