...General Secretary of the Soviet Union's Communist Party did not believe a word of it. As the two superpower leaders sat across from each other last week at the bargaining table in an elegant salon in Geneva, Ronald Reagan implored Mikhail Gorbachev to join him in his dream of "rendering nuclear weapons obsolete" with a space-based missile defense system. Coldly fixing Reagan in his gaze, Gorbachev would have none of it. "It's not convincing. It's emotional. It's a dream. Who can control it? Who can monitor it? It opens up an arms race in space...

The news last week was that Author Edmund Morris, 45, who won a 1980 Pulitzer Prize for The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt, will have the privilege of being Ronald Reagan's shadow for the rest of his term.

Ron Maxwell, 22, is a Citibank computer operator by day and one of the Eighth Street's performing...
...Geneva, proponents and opponents of Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative are vying for the allegiance of the American public. On college campuses and television screens, in board rooms and scientific symposiums, the two sides are intent on persuading Americans that Star Wars is either a) an impossible and dangerous dream or b) the ultimate nuclear umbrella. Declares retired General Daniel Graham, head of High Frontier: "Both sides realize it's a political issue and grass-roots support is very important." Obscured by the often kindergartenish imagery, however, the real debate over SDI remains murky and complex...
