President Reagan is wrong to address abortion, school prayer and a nuclear freeze as religious issues. They are social questions affecting everyone and require government intervention...
This year, by contrast, Gromyko was arriving not only to deliver a major address at the U.N. outlining the Soviet Union's view of world affairs, a matter of growing concern to other nations as the result of seemingly immobilized leadership within the Kremlin. He was also scheduled to meet at the White House on Friday with Ronald Reagan, thus becoming the sole high-level Soviet official with whom the President has held discussions zin more than 3½ years in office.

Reagan and Mondale will get three chances to address each topic, initially with a 2½-min. answer, then with a 1-min. follow-up and rebuttal. As Mondale wished, the second presidential debate is scheduled to come after the diversionary hubbub of the World Series, and the encounters will last 90 min. apiece. Each camp is gloating over...
