...carefully proposing changes only in the "strategic environment," while keeping intact the painstakingly negotiated SALT II text, Kissinger was able to stress that his proposals would not require new bargaining with the Kremlin. Explicit Soviet approval would not be needed for the strictly unilateral actions sought by Kissinger. He thus distanced himself from those Senators who have demanded fundamental revisions in the accord, such as Henry (Scoop) Jackson of Washington and Jake Garn of Utah. Minority Leader Howard Baker of Tennessee has also been seeking major changes of the pact's provisions, but he hinted that his position might...

Said Hannifin: "That 'bottle,' as big as a mixing bowl, had spent a couple of years in orbit, re-entered and was not even scratched. That's been on my mind...
...long can Somoza hang on? At week's end reports circulated that he would step down, if his armed forces were kept intact and his lapdog National Liberal Party was given the pivotal role in a new regime. Nicaraguan politicians speculated that he would announce his abdication at an emergency session of the National Assembly that he called late last week. But because so many of the 100 legislators failed to attend, Somoza could not put together a quorum, and the session was postponed...
