...agreed to delay Star Wars deployment for ten years and adhere to the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty. But Reagan's understanding of the ABM treaty is sharply at odds not only with that of the Soviets but with that of the Americans who negotiated the document in the early 1970s. The traditional interpretation of the treaty, which is endorsed by most experts, holds that only research is permitted on space-based antimissile systems like lasers. The Administration has advanced the so-called permissive interpretation, under which development and testing of those systems and their components would be allowed. That...
Founded in 1912 by black professionals in the judicial capital of Bloemfontein, the A.N.C. fought against apartheid for decades through rigorously nonviolent means, mostly labor strikes and public service boycotts.

Economic goals are vaguely socialistic, envisioning the nationalization of some industries, including banks...

Both authors create characters who are obsessed with appearances. Each collection includes a story about a diet. Klass' story, "The Secret Lives of Dieters," traces the disintegration of a relationship throughout a diet. Gilchrist's is bathetic. It opens with a report of the death of JeanAnne Lori Mayfield who ended the last diet she ever undertook by crashing into a doughnut shop, killing two people...
