...tilt of his sword sheath; Constable Dogberry (Christopher Benjamin) casually flings a purse in the air, and his deputy Verges catches it in his hat. The gags, however earthbound, raise laughs hearty enough to fill Broadway's biggest house. But around the surefire comic bits, Hands continues to deploy the human opposites only art can reconcile. By the end of the evening a friar can dance with a wench, and the dead come back to life, and lovers banter until they fall into each other's arms at dawn...
...Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces) talks. When they began in November 1981, the U.S. planned to install in Western Europe 572 single-warhead Pershing II and Tomahawk cruise missiles to counter Soviet deployment of triple-warhead SS-20 missiles (about 270 in place then, more than 370 now) that were or could be targeted at Western Europe.

After learning of Fabius' appointment, members of the party politburo met in emergency session at the Communists' fortress-like glass-and-steel headquarters. Despite three hours of deliberation, they were unable to agree on how to react. The indecision continued even after Party Leader Georges Marchais had hastily returned from his vaca tion on the beaches...
...officials at the Pentagon oppose any limits on antisatellite weapons or a moratoriumon testing them. They want to test the newest such device in November. State Department arms experts, on the other hand, have been working on a variety of plans, including one that would permit each side to deploy one space-weapon sys tem to knock out relatively low-altitude satellites, while limiting the destruction of high-flying satellites that are currently be yond the reach of any existing system. "We're willing to talk about anything," claimed a State Department official. "The Pentagon is willing to talk...
