White House Correspondent Laurence Barrett found that the visit had a more immediate impact. "While the Administration has been attempting to be relatively cool," he reports, "there has been a lot of boning up for what can be some quite heavyweight diplomacy. It is an interesting reminder that policy and politics are never very far apart." Diplomatic Correspondent Strobe Talbott, an arms-control expert -and author of the forthcoming Deadly Gambits: The Reagan Administration and the Stalemate in Nuclear Arms Control, contributed an analysis of prospects for the resumption of negotiations...

"They drop us in the middle of a glacier, and we're dressed in skins." Hannah was also cool about the wearing of animal pelts ("I'm sort of against it"). Besides, to prepare for their prehistoric personas, Hannah and the rest of the cast had to learn to throw spears, use slings to hurl stones, build a fire without matches, communicate in a special sign language and, most demanding...
