...arms control could lead to "broad possibilities for cooperation" in other fields. In a series of answers to written questions submitted by NBC News, the Kremlin leader conspicuously refrained from any criticism of the Reagan Administration, a staple of most of his previous East-West statements. Noting the milder tone of recent U.S. rhetoric, Chernenko declared, "If the statements that are being made lately hi Washington with regard to the desire to seek solutions to problems of arms limitation do not remain just words, we could, at last, start moving toward more normal relations between our two countries." Responded Shultz...
Faced with one of the gravest challenges in his 19-year rule, Marcos, ever the adroit tactician, moved quickly to cut his losses. He began by treating Agrava's minority report as if it were the only finding of the board and promptly turned the milder version over to the Ministry of Justice. Then, seizing the moment between the announcements of the two reports, Marcos appeared on television to address the country. He urged that the case be settled "without letting a day pass."

Both men will be traveling to the Swedish capital to attend the opening ceremonies of the Conference on Confidence and Security-Building Measures and Disarmament in Europe. It will be the first time Shultz and Gromyko have met since they exchanged angry words in Madrid last September over the Soviet downing of Korean Air Lines Flight 007. Their discussions, along with Reagan...
...more blood in the Third World, and this time some of the blood was American. U.S. troops went into combat for the first time since 1975, invading the tiny Caribbean island of Grenada and overturning a clique of hard-line Marxists who had murdered Prime Minister Maurice Bishop, a milder Marxist. Suicide truck bombers, presumably Islamic Shi'ite zealots who share Iranian Ayatullah Ruhollah Khomeini's belief that the U.S. is "the Great Satan," blew up the American embassies in Lebanon and Kuwait, as well as the headquarters of the U.S. Marine peace-keeping force at the Beirut airport...
