...emerging pattern exasperates Moscow. Among other things, the Soviets profess astonishment that the West is willing to sell weapons to an unreliable China that still speaks of the inevitability of war. At the same time, the Russians seem willing enough to accept the normalization of relations between the U.S. and China, so long as the new friendship does not produce a tacit anti-Soviet alliance. Warns Georgi Arbatov, a Soviet expert on U.S. policy: "You cannot reconcile detente with attempts to make China some sort of military ally of NATO." A Western diplomat also cautioned: "I wonder if an economically...
When the post office in Troy, Mich., summoned Michael Achorn to pick up a 2-ft.-long 40-lb. package, his wife Margaret cheerfully went to accept it, but as she drove it back to her office in Detroit, she began to worry. The box was from Montgomery Ward, but the sender, Edward Achorn, was unknown to Margaret and her husband despite the identical last name. What if the thing was a bomb?

He was the second American sports figure among the nation's estimated 200,000 spine-injured patients to make that pilgrimage this year. (The other was Race-Car Driver Bob Hurt...
Some have called it the "apathetic age," but to accept this is to be blind to boundless activity by innumerable social and political groups. In its farewell issue, New Times depicted this as a "decadent" age; yet the magazine itself, though born out of the sensibilities of the '60s, went out sounding a faintly puritanical note that was proof that not everything had been infected by decadence.
