...Illusions. The break in the ice left some U.S. officials notably cool. After Kosygin announced a nine-point program to halt the nuclear-arms race, one Washington official declared: "Most of that stuff is old garbage. It's a propaganda cover for the fact that their position is not formulated." Indeed, Kosygin's prospectus did have a ring of familiarity. Its major proposals -for limitations on the production of nuclear weapons and delivery systems, and restrictions on the movement of nuclear-armed bombers and missile-launching submarines-have been made before, but never came close to being implemented...
...that tough grind was a young Cornish schoolteacher, Geoffrey Williams, who slipped into Newport, R.I., a fortnight ago after 26 days, 20 hours, and 32 minutes en route; others are still at sea. The competing Sunday Times sent four record-seeking Britons floundering by dogsled across mushy Arctic Ocean ice from Point Barrow, Alaska, to the Spitsbergen archipelago, some 2,100 crevasse-ridden miles distant; last week the quartet was a third of the way along and having radio trouble. More lately, the Times has sponsored a nonstop, round-the-world solo sail, which Chichester calls "the Everest...
...derision of U.S. movie moguls and their rampant commercialism, Pauline Kael is not an art-house snob. She prefers genuine American kitsch, if it has style and verve, to such avant-garde films as Hiroshima Mon Amour, Red Desert and Last Year at Marienbad ("the snow job in the ice palace"). Among her favorite directors are John Frankenheimer and Orson Welles, who provide "clean, fast pacing without the fancy stuff. It goes better with our national rhythm." A onetime experimental moviemaker in San Francisco, where she grew up and attended the University of California at Berkeley, she finds today...
...addition to operating 371 supermarkets across the U.S., Jewel now serves those needs with some 240 other outlets, ranging from ice-cream parlors and drugstores to huge "family centers" selling food, pharmaceuticals and phonographs. Such diversification has brought Jewel healthy profits while a number of more tradition-bound food chains have lagged. Last year Jewel's rapidly growing, non-supermarket operations yielded 24% of its $1.25 billion in sales, and an even bigger share of its $17.6 million in profits. Currently in the midst of a threeyear, $100 million expansion program, the company is adding new stores...
...Perutz began to probe the hemoglobin structure in 1937, after he came to Cambridge as a refugee graduate student. His work was interrupted during the war because he was interned as an enemy alien; then he was released to work on a bizarre and impractical scheme to tow Arctic ice islands into the North Atlantic to serve as airbases...
