Faced with that possibility, President Carter used discretionary authority to override Congress. After Ronald Reagan took office, the Administration arranged to have France take over the U.S. fuel-supply contract, thus . maintaining the integrity of the Tarapur safeguards, at least until the original supply agreement expires in 1993. Similar efforts were undertaken by the White House to avoid confrontations with Brazil and South Africa on long- standing nuclear-fuel agreements. Without such efforts, the nonproliferation system might be in worse trouble today. Says an official of the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency: "Safeguards work when there is a cooperative...

Sixteen years since his only victory, Andretti will start the 69th Indy 500 from the second row, just behind Pole-Sitter Pancho Carter and just ahead of Unser.

The main figure in that effort is Singlaub, 63, who was dismissed as Chief of Staff of U.S. forces in South Korea in 1977 after a dispute with President Carter.
