Jackson's recent clash with Kissinger began when Pentagon officials went to Jackson and the press with a complaint. Their charge: Kissinger had not told Congress about some supplemental clarifications he made with the Soviets after the SALT I treaty was signed. The main worry was that the supplemental agreements that Kissinger had reached with Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin could be interpreted to allow the Soviets to build up their force of submarine missiles not to 950, as announced after SALT...
Because Yale should not prove to be a factor, the Harvard-Princeton clash should be a classic duel befitting the two best lightweight crews in the East. The Crimson will be out to avenge a loss to the Tigers last year that snapped Harvard's 28-race win streak extending over five years...
...past he has toiled through sex research in the suburbs, the inequities of book censorship, race and the presidency, a modern religious crisis, and the politics of the Nobel Prize.

Middle East nations, flush with fast-mounting oil revenues, are gobbling up military hardware to brandish against Israel and, occasionally, each other. Iran, which fought in a brief border clash with Iraq a few weeks ago, bought $2 billion in ships, planes and missiles from the U.S. last year. Within the past few months, it has ordered $900 million worth of Grumman F-14 Tomcat fighters, and it is negotiating with McDonnell Douglas Corp. to buy 50 F-15 Eagle fighters, a model so new that...
