...main danger of the Soviet buildup is not that the Russians are planning some future Pearl Harbor. All the analysts agreed that the Kremlin's strategy is almost certainly less violent than that.

The likely compromise: if Congress abandons the Clinch River project, as Carter wants, the Administration will agree to bankroll another, more advanced, large demonstration breeder that would use "safe" fuels like thorium instead of plutonium...
World Cup competition, ski racing's big league, is a 22-event road show that stretches from Stratton, Vt., to Vald'Isère, France; a traveling extravaganza complete with glamour and groupies, danger and drama. The life-style is a world away from what goes on back in Phil Mahre's home town of White Pass, nestled in the Cascade Mountains. Its total population is 27, and nine belong to the Mahre household, including Steve, Phil's twin, who is himself a promising member of the U.S. ski team...
