High-level dialogue between leaders of the U.S.S.R. and those of the West, in particular the U.S., is badly needed at this time. Such dialogue is indispensable if we are to prevent misunderstandings over areas of tension leading to dangerous confrontations. Mistrust and suspicion have bred a vicious cycle that has to be stopped. Let us try to break out of it by making the most of all the good will that exists and of every initiative. France will not be last in this. What we can do, we will do without ever losing sight of the fact that overtures...
...chintzy plastic tray with 365 nondescript pages on it. But now it is being replaced by the posh and prestigious desk diary. Bound in padded leather with the owner's name or initials stamped in gold on the cover and decorated with silken page markers, the best-bred datebooks look a bit like church hymnals, and they command nearly the same reverence...

He hired a political consultant, Geoffrey Hockman, his former Ohio State roommate, to undertake a three-week study of the campaign...
...Deadly Force were merely another story of justice delayed and denied, its appeal would be limited by politics and geography. But O'Donnell's thoughtful narrative transcends its arena. The author, 31, grew up in a street-tough Irish Catholic society that had bred legions of police; he had known one of the officers in the case since boyhood. His father, a prominent Boston attorney who took on the widow's case, is himself a former policeman. Thus the book depicts the racial consciousness and social mores of big-city police with fairness, even compassion. That...
