Disarmament advocates made new pleas for a moratorium on testing MIRVs -clusters of independently targeted warheads atop a single missile, a new weapon that they fear will set off one more round in the seemingly endless arms race. The Pentagon, however, is anxious that American opinion-and the American delegation-not underestimate the Soviet military challenge to the U.S. Therefore the Defense Department leaked new intelligence estimates pointing to one conclusion: that the Soviet Union is rapidly building up its nuclear-arms stockpile and is already taking the lead from the U.S. in one critical department of potential destruction...

They are often incapable of a generous and rich relationship with a partner, with children, with-simply-any other human being. Mr. Taylor suggests that the family can effectively balance the fear and uncertainty of life. Yet this kind of security is not automatic. The man in "At the Drugstore" can say that he and his father "had . . . made these adjustments and concessions that a happy and successful life requires. . . .
