But last week it was busier than ever as a task force prepared to test the Nike Zeus, the U.S. Army's anti-missile missile. On the glaring, sun-baked coral of Kwajalein, scientists hope to find an answer to an ominous question: Can a reliable defense be built against surprise attack by intercontinental missiles...

Coral Gables, Fla., hoped that Detroit could send more tourists. The burgess of the borough of Phoenixville, Pa., who also works for a boiler company, sent along boiler literature. Orangeburg, S.C., asked the mayor to "anticipate your need for textiles and make purchases accordingly." If everyone keeps his word...
Tour de Chant (Michel Louvain; Coral). A French-Canadian singer with a voice full of sighs, swoops and quavers his way through a pleasantly relaxed nightclub turn.
