...found himself uncharacteristically briefing reporters on what the new Administration was demanding of the Kremlin in the way of a SALT II agreement: the Russians should either agree to a drastic reduction in strategic weapons or defer such problems as the Soviet Backfire bomber and U.S. Cruise missile and accept a simple continuation of the modest limitations on offensive weapons tentatively set by Brezhnev and Ford at Vladivostok in 1974. Brezhnev, stung by both the human rights campaign and what sounded like an arms ultimatum, coldly rejected the proposals and in March of last year scolded a red-faced Vance...
...attempt to do so in my piece. I did attempt, however, to expose some of the philosophical assumptions and value-judgements implicit in the study of how genes affect human behavior and society. Not simply judgments about the ultimate value of science--which most scientists seem to accept a priori, forgetting that science arose merely as a means of satisfying basic human needs--but judgments about the necessity of a field of study that quite ostensibly sets out to study how behavior is restricted by our genes...

"It is not majority rule that Carter is asking for," Barnard says, "it is black rule by pre-selected majority...
...Even some traditional supporters of the royal family were critical of Margaret and her relationship with Roddy. "I consider Princess Margaret to have completely let the side down," complained one saddened letter writer to the pro-Tory Evening Standard. Declared the Bishop of Truro, Graham Leonard: "If you accept the public life, you must accept a severe restriction on your personal conduct." After some of his fellow clergymen complained that he had been a bit too explicit, Leonard said that he was merely praying that Margaret "should be given the strength to make the right judgment...
