...able to attend only about 25% of the SALT sessions in Geneva. In Warnke's absence, the U.S. "working level" negotiators are led by Ambassador Earle, 49, a lawyer and former Pentagon official who has been a full-time member of the SALT delegation for five years. His current job, says Earle, "is a little bit like being a trial lawyer, except it means going to trial constantly, a number of times every week. We used to be told in law school that you had to prepare four to eight hours for every hour in court...
...also saw the festival as a good place to justify his country's interventions in Africa. His policy needed a bit of bolstering, to be sure: at a nonaligned Foreign Ministers summit in Belgrade last week, some delegates attacked Moscow and Havana-rather than Western imperialism-as the current threat to Third World neutrality...

Men and women are just as distrustful of each other, although it is hard to imagine a 20th century character saying as Pinchwife does, "if we do not cheat women, they'll cheat us." Cuckold jokes may be out of style, but Wycherly's satire touches current issues like male chauvinism, and after all, fools are still fools.
