ADOPTED. By Carole Bayer Sager, 38, singer-lyricist, and her husband Burt Bacharach, 57, master songwriter and her collaborator for the past six years (the 1981 Oscar-winning song Arthur's Theme, the current hit That's What Friends Are For): their first child, a boy, born Dec. 3 (Bacharach has a daughter, 19, from his second marriage, to Actress Angie Dickinson); in Los Angeles.

In his first term, the U.S. arms-control apparatus was nearly paralyzed by an intramural struggle between advocates of a negotiated agreement, led by former Assistant Secretary of State Richard Burt, and opponents of arms control, led by Assistant Secretary of Defense Richard Perle. Burt has since departed to become Ambassador to West Germany, leaving no one to push hard for arms control. The Pentagon under Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger is unalterably opposed to abandoning SDI (see box). Publicly, Shultz always...
