Even while authorizing his negotiators to squeeze everything they could get out of the Soviet military, Bush has gone to some lengths to convey the appearance that two great nations still adhere to the concept, long so sacred to the Soviets, of parity or equality. Gorbachev desperately needs to keep up the illusion of give-and-take at a time when the Soviet Union is doing almost all of the giving and its traditional rival is doing most of the taking...

Since childhood, art has been a channel into which has flowed uninhibited creativity, thought and zeal. A constant presence in my college experience, cartooning has been the key to my artistic growth. Through the acknowledgement of peers, I know my work can brighten people's days and inform their lives. Outside these ivy-covered walls, I will continue to draw...and to try to make a difference...
