...Soviet Union will each be permitted to maintain only two ABM complexes of 100 missiles each. The Soviets, who have chosen to defend populated areas, will probably add new missiles to the 64 ABMS that now ring Moscow. They may also convert the Tallin Line of antiaircraft missiles near Leningrad to ABMS. The U.S., which by contrast has chosen to use the allotted ABMs to protect its land-based missile force, originally had announced its intention to build 14 Safeguard ABM complexes. Now it will complete only the two sites at Grand Forks, N. Dak., and Malmstrom, Mont...
Rousing Fiddler. In addition to the 70 accused KGB agents on board the Baltika were 50 non-Russians who had previously booked passage to Leningrad. But there were also 177 empty berths-reserved by the Soviet embassy in London at an average cost of $108 to make sure that no enterprising journalists suddenly decided to make the trip. As the spy ship slipped away, loaded with last-minute purchases of cigarettes, sweaters and Scotch, its loudspeaker burst forth with the rousing number If I Were a Rich Man from Fiddler on the Roof...
...Cullen, who lies and steals as a matter of course. Still, he also manages to suggest that these are merely tactics of self-defense in a world ruled by criminals far worse than he. For example: Claud Moggerhanger, a vice lord who employs Michael as his chauffeur, and Jack Leningrad, who recruits Michael to the gold-smuggling ring that he operates from inside his iron lung.

...second to none. Trouble is, there are almost as many styles as dancers, and more often than not, productions have a slightly underrehearsed look. Its secondary leads, and particularly the corps, vary from good to "good grief." When Natalia Makarova-the dazzling Russian defector who formerly starred with Leningrad's Kirov Ballet-floats to her forest glade in Swan Lake, the ragged corps resembles a Long Island duck farm rather than anything 19th century Choreographer Marius Petipa had in mind. Equally disheveled is a new ABT production this season of a Kirov specialty, Paquita; at times, the arm placement...
...sticking meals for less than a half dollar. Specially cheap flights within Europe are offered by the British Student Travel Center and other official youth organizations to full-time high school and college students who have convincing identification. Sample one-way prices: London to Paris $13.20, London to Leningrad $48. Belgian railroads give 50% reductions to students. The municipal steam baths of Copenhagen, Stockholm and Oslo charge only $1 or less for steam bath and swim. Troubled travelers can get free psychiatric counseling in Amsterdam, free beds through Infor Jeunes (a voluntary youth service organization) in Brussels and easy tolerance...
