Americans are receptive to the revolution and optimistic about its impact. A new poll* for TIME by Yankelovich, Skelly and White indicates that nearly 80% of Americans expect that in the fairly near...
Administration officials were divided about the political impact of the news from Geneva on the alliance. According to the Pentagon, West European support for Reagan's zero option was still "rock solid," and a senior State Department official traveling with Shultz noted that "not a single European pressed for altering the zero option."

Congress has been considering measures of its own to speed a recovery, including several proposals to reduce unemployment by creating hundreds of thousands of public works jobs.

Yet unlike his great contemporaries Mikhail Baryshnikov and Rudolf Nureyev, Martins is not a magnet for the media. His impact has been almost entirely through his role as leading male dancer with the New York City Ballet, a company where the choreography rather than the performer is designed to star...
