...exactly the pinnacle of his career, the 60th birthday party for former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger did turn out to be a summit of sorts. Invited by his onetime student, Harvard Lecturer Guido Goldman, to wine and dine the evening away at New York City's Pierre Hotel last week, the 400 guests included such luminaries as former West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, former President Gerald Ford, Secretary of State George Shultz and the widows of the Shah of Iran, Anwar Sadat, Lyndon Johnson and Nelson Rockefeller. Asked how he felt about getting older, Kissinger remained loyal...

It will be another two months before the Westchester County court decides whether a new trial is warranted.

Now living in a special house with private rooms at New York's Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, the former headmistress of Virginia's fashionable Madeira School for girls spends her mornings making quilts or writing, her afternoons working with expectant mothers.

Under the present system, Medicare recipients pay a deductible ($350 in 1984) for the first day in the hospital. Thereafter, Medicare picks up the whole cost through the 60th day, and part of it for 30 days more. After an additional "lifetime reserve" of 60 days has been depleted, Government coverage ends, and the patient is fully liable. By contrast, the Administration plan would provide unlimited coverage after the 60th day but require patients to pay not only...
That influence shines through clearly in On Sakharov, first printed in Russian on the occasion of Sakharov's 60th birthday and just published in English. The collection celebrates Sakharov's life, accomplishments and indomitable spirit, and at the same time presents a brief for the importance of carrying on the struggle for human rights. Two dozen Russian intellectuals and scientists, almost all involved on some front of the crusade Sakharov still leads, and two American physicists who knew Sakharov as a scientists and as a human rights advocate, reminisce about Sakharov and his work. The book also includes poetry, short...
