...priority item on the agenda for his 3½ days of talks with Kremlin leaders was the sensitive issue of strategic arms control. Disappointingly little progress has been made since the first round of SALT negotiations ended in 1972. At that time, a treaty was signed on limitation of defensive missile systems (ABM'S), but an interim agreement on the deployment of offensive nuclear arms extends only to 1977. Unless some significant breakthrough can be made soon, the idyl of American-Soviet détente may be lost in the nightmarish shuffle of an accelerated arms race. Well aware...
Maintaining the size of the College has consistently been the item traded off in favor of equalizing sex ratios. Comments made by administrators and members of the Strauch Committee, which is considering male and female admissions in preparation for next spring's merger negotiations, indicate that this is again likely to be the case: estimates of the possible increase range from 5 to 10 per cent...
...itself, the tax matter-despite the large sums involved-should have little impact on confirmation. But as one more item on a growing list, it complicated Rockefeller's position.

The host, the modern equivalent of a Levantine legate, was Ardeshir Zahedi, Iran's Ambassador to the U.S. There was pearl-sized gray caviar from the Caspian, of course. But the most remarked-upon item was the menu itself: it was lavishly printed on oversize imitation American dollar bills, British £5 notes, Swedish crowns and twelve other currencies. And dessert might have symbolized the grand new wealth of an oil power: a chocolate mousse topped by a miniature money tree, festooned with artificial gold...
Throughout the U.S., the biggest takeout item for restaurant rippers-off is sugar, which has had a price rise of 160% in the past seven months. Larry Buckmaster, executive director of the Chicago and Illinois Restaurant Association, reports that restaurants are having to order twice as much sugar as they did a year ago. A not unmixed blessing is that sugar-bitter restaurant owners are considering a return from the skimpy paper envelopes in which most now serve sugar to bowls and dispensers, which are not so easily slipped into pockets and handbags...
