Probably the best that can be expected at Geneva is what Warnke calls "some sort of a synthesis" of these positions. He told TIME that the Soviets have floated an idea to limit the testing of new missiles and that this would "make a big difference" in the bargaining. If some such accord is reached, more drastic limitations could be reserved for an anticipated SALT III agreement-and U.S.-Soviet relations would be back on a closer course.

At present, employer and employee each pay half of the Social Security tax, which is set at a rate of 11.7% on a wage base with a $16,500 limit.

...being rebroadcast in a series now on public television. Says Saturday Night producer Lome Michaels: "Kovacs was the consummate television comic, and Chevy has that same sense of how to use the medium. I don't think he'll ever leave it completely." Chase does plan to limit his own tube time, hinting at one reason for abandoning his weekly act on SN: "I certainly don't want to get so overexposed on TV that people won't pay $3.50 to see me in a movie theater...
