...Soviets warily size up each other's weaponry, the overriding question of whether those arms will ever be the tools of Armageddon depends, of course, on how the two superpowers get along. Increasingly, the SALT negotiations have taken on a meaning beyond their direct purpose of curtailing a nuclear weapons race. They have become the most telling barometer of the future of U.S.-Soviet relations...
JEAN-PAUL BELMONDO may be the only actor in the world who could look suave, imperturbable and sexy straight through Armageddon. Louis Malle, using Belmondo's steeliness for its full impact, gives us ten long minutes of his cool gaze at the opening of Le Voleur.

Yet, as members of Kissinger's flying squad of negotiators acknowledged, there was something poignant about the way Smith finally bowed...
Brutal Talk. The Secretary did not find many opportunities for jocularity in his attempt to head off by negotiation the racial Armageddon that seems to be looming in southern Africa. Tanzania's President Julius Nyerere had announced that he was not "particularly encouraged" by Kissinger's mission. Zambia's President Kenneth Kaunda had declared that Kissinger might have "only a few days, not weeks," to succeed in averting a black-white...
