...native country in all its contradictory beauty. For Swiss Panorama (Knopf; $50) he used a specially designed remote-control camera suspended from a helicopter to make color pictures that are almost three-dimensional in effect.

Along with cessation of the talks, the Soviet leader outlined in unusual detail his country's longstanding plans to up the nuclear ante by new deployments of atomic weapons. Among other things, the statement alluded to specific Soviet measures that would directly threaten the U.S. As for the NATO nations, said Andropov, "what will grow with the deployment of American missiles on European...
