...past year or so, Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko and other Soviet officials have hinted at flexibility about permitting some sort of "cooperative measures," perhaps including very limited on-site inspection, in future agreements. But it is virtually inconceivable that the Kremlin would grant the U.S. a carte blanche search warrant to inspect not just launch sites but perhaps storage areas and even production facilities...
Ordinarily such leaks are repaired within weeks. Iran says that it sent experts to inspect the damage, but that they were bombarded by the Iraqis in air attacks. On March 2, Iraq announced that any ships that came near the damaged platforms would be treated as military targets. Iranian officials say they had offered Texan Red Adair, the world's best-known oil troubleshooter, $1 million to supervise a repair effort, but that he refused to work under war-time conditions.

...legions of Mary Rose salvagers to plan last week's dramatic lift.

Last week Prince Philip, that imperturbable aristocrat, was certainly uncomfortable. In the U.S. to inspect equestrian sites for the 1984 Olympics and to address the Los Angeles World Affairs Council about the International Wildlife Fund, he was invited to a soirée at the posh California Club. But the establishment, it transpired, prohibits women and has no black members. Philip's host, Mayor Thomas Bradley, refused to attend. Suddenly the club seemed rather too exclusive even...
