Gorbachev also advanced a host of more immediate proposals. In tacit recognition of the link between battlefield nuclear weapons and conventional arms, he called for a speeding up of the negotiations on troop reductions in Europe that have been dragging on in Vienna for twelve years, and matched a Western concession made last December with one of his own on verification. He proposed an agreement on chemical weapons that moved beyond Moscow's previous willingness to destroy only existing stockpiles and called for dismantling production facilities as well. He also extended for three months a Soviet moratorium on weapons tests...
...eternally a defensive team. Ditka's shutout department is run independently by a straight-talking old ramrod named Buddy Ryan, an Oklahoman partial to cowboy boots and farm hats that say HORIZON SEEDS. In an era when most coaches feel obliged to soothe the players' psyches, Ryan is a link to the past. He took one wide look at "the Refrigerator" last summer and declared the Clemson first rounder to be "a wasted draft choice." But this was not an unusual introduction for a Bear rookie.

Black programs show up in the defense budget under such cryptic code names as Link Hazel and Dreamland, and receive funds without the ordinary congressional review.

The Ergon is a descendant of Eames' designs, an out-of-sequence missing link between the lucid but barebones molded-plywood chair (1946) and the voluptuous, baroque lounge chair (1956) so beloved of big men with dens. The quiet swerves of Ergon's separate seat and back are subtle, like Noguchi stones made soft and purposeful. No earlier American chair had been mounted...
...some $60 million for America's hungry and homeless, are hoping for a turnout of at least 6 million people (each contributing at least $ 10) on Sunday after noon, May 25. The pop charity celebration may find that its reach exceeds its grasp. But should the human chain actually link the land, the organizers may not be too far off in billing it as "the largest participatory event in the history of the world...
