...Washington, they are not interested in reaching agreement. They only speculate in general terms about the usefulness of dialogue." That note of scorn in Soviet Leader Konstantin Chernenko's remarks to West German Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher last week was characteristic of Moscow's increasingly hostile posture toward the West. The Kremlin categorically rejected Genscher's plea for a resumption of the Geneva arms-reduction talks that the Soviets broke off last November to protest NATO's deployment of new missiles in Europe. Only a few hours before Genscher's arrival, the Soviet news...
Each of them was the Marilyn Monroe of her day, so Photographer Richard Avedon was assigned to shoot the real Marilyn posing as Theda Bara, Clara Bow, Marlene Dietrich, Jean Harlow and Lillian Russell for a 1958 spread in LIFE.

The latest Soviet moves appeared to signal an increased willingness in Moscow to push its war of nerves with Washington over the missiles to the crisis point. Said a West European diplomat: "The Soviets are trying to scare the hell out of everyone...
...Paul Dietrich, president of the conservative National Center for Legislative Research, wangled himself an invitation to a private showing and calls the film "anything but non-partisan." Says John Fisher, president of the American Security Council: "Clearly someone associated with the production has a significantly different perspective than we do, because somehow the pirated version hasn't been exposed to people on our side of the issue. This movie says deterrence has failed, and that's a political statement...
