...rows of medals on his full-dress uniform gleaming under the television lights, Soviet Defense Minister Dmitri Ustinov stepped to the podium in the Kremlin's modernistic Palace of Congresses late last week to report on the state of the country. In his address, delivered on the eve of a national holiday marking the 64th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution, Ustinov lectured Washington on its belligerent rhetoric. Charged Ustinov: "Its high-ranking representatives declare with cynical disregard for the destinies of peoples that 'there are things more important than peace' and that a so-called limited nuclear...
...alternative," Kohl boomed as the 830 delegates applauded. A poll published on the eve of the convention showed that the C.D.U. had gained so much momentum that if a vote were held today, it would win a clear majority of 50.3%. That is a remarkable comeback for a party that suffered the worst defeat in its history only a year ago, when Schmidt's coalition trounced the conservative Minister-President of Bavaria, Franz Josef Strauss, 53.5% to 44.5%, in the national elections, winning 271 seats in the Bundestag, against a total of 226 for the C.D.U. and its companion...

Investigators found a rental agreement for another car, signed by Rosahn, in a search of Boudin's apartment. Last week Rosahn was indicted as an accessory in the robbery and three killings in Nyack. District Attorney Gribetz asked that no bail be set for the activist. "She's an individual who would flee the jurisdiction," he said. In fact, Rosahn had been temporarily freed only days earlier on $10,000 bail posted by her radical-minded mother...
DIED. Edith Head, eightyish, Hollywood costume designer who once described her job as "a cross between camouflage and reconstruction" and who won a record eight Academy Awards (for The Heiress, All About Eve, Samson and Delilah, A Place in the Sun, Roman Holiday, Sabrina, The Facts of Life and The Sting); in Los Angeles. Her first job for a studio was draping garlands over elephants in a Cecil B. De-Mille circus film. She notched her first Oscar for dressing Olivia de Havilland as a spinster in The Heiress in 1949. Prim and priggish-looking in her bangs and tortoise...
