Jencks added that the U.S. studies do not accord genetic factors as much of a role in determining IQ as Burt's study...
Although hollow predictions seem to characterize the six-year search for a second-stage arms accord, Warnke's optimistic assessment may be accurate. The bulk of SALT II does appear ready for signing. The draft of the resolved portions runs more than 50 pages. Both sides have settled the central issue, agreeing to limit their strategic arsenals to 2,250 weapons systems at least until 1985.

Under such circumstances, past Presidents have sought emergency legislation to avert another walkout. In 1971, for example, Congress imposed a settlement after a strike by railroad signalmen...
