...love never did run smooth," as Lysander observes, and in seeing the muddle of our own times we are apt to overlook the fact that it was ever so. Faithlessness was hardly patented by Cressida, and even in Shakespeare's day, the theaters were full of Roman numerals. Sequels follow sequels. Romeo, let us not forget, was a heartstrong adolescent unable to imagine any girl save Rosaline -- until he set eyes on Juliet; and Juliet was a 13-year-old upstart who roundly abused both her murdering Romeo and her devoted nurse. Shakespeare himself addresses some of his most heartfelt...
...Pentagon budget is tight, the years that follow promise even more bad news for hard-pressed defense firms. The General Accounting Office estimates that as much as $150 billion will have to be hacked out of defense plans over the next five years. One reason: giant, multi-year spending commitments in the early 1980s are still rolling through the budgets like a giant bow wave, pushing aside other priorities.

Hiroshi Nukui of the Socialists' policymaking board gave Washington a hint of what lies ahead. "We value U.S.-Japan ties," said Nukui, "but we're not going to just follow in the U.S.'s footsteps the way the L.D.P...
That may be. However, it is far from certain that other Communist countries in the East bloc with sizable Catholic populations will follow Poland's diplomatic lead. The government of Hungary has restored some religious rights, and Rome has responded warmly, but there are no hints that these moves will be sufficient to forge a new diplomatic relationship with the Vatican. Rome's prospects with the hard-line rulers of Czechoslovakia are far dimmer. In the Soviet Union the enforced illegality of Catholicism in the Ukraine appears to present an intractable barrier. Still, when John Paul was elected Pope...
