...women also displayed their command of pantomime in some of the humorous numbers. Dressed in colorful costumes from the '20s, they lifted their legs effortlessly into arabesques.

Then last month Gorbachev told Kennedy that contrary to earlier warnings, "there are no preconditions" to an INF agreement. The Soviet leader indicated that he and Reagan could sign an interim arms-control agreement...
