...never officially admitted building the new missile, let alone acknowledged that it produces nuclear warheads, the Jewish state has been known to be testing such a missile for at least a year. Analysts say the Kremlin is speaking out now only because it is engaged in a delicate diplomatic minuet. On the one hand, Moscow is pressuring the U.S. and its European allies to eliminate all medium-range missiles as part of a larger arms-control agreement. Last week, for example, Moscow demanded that U.S. warheads on NATO Pershing IA missiles deployed in West Germany be destroyed. The Soviets argue...
...news. Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev has obviously spent a lot of time analyzing not just Reagan's positions but his techniques for putting them across.

Then they decoded the complex minuet that takes place between the receptor and its LDL particle. Says Baltimore: "That was important for understanding how cells communicate with their environment...
...Mean to Me sounds as if it is being purred on a rumpled-up bed by a woman who has missed an entire night's sleep and is still bright-eyed. When I Fall in Love is both heartsore and heartfelt, Falling in Love Again a music-box minuet that turns into a full-swing romp, and the classic Billy Strayhorn title cut a cocktail lounge elegy of elegant despair. Barroom or bedroom, Lush Life is right at home...
