...interview the day after his Rose Garden speech, President Reagan held out the possibility of flexibility on the provisions of START that the Soviets consider most one-sided in favor of the U.S. Said Reagan: "I doubt very much that there will be much of a problem about the mix of weapons." The White House has been hinting at much the same thing in special, secret briefings for key members of Congress. In those sessions, the Administration has indicated that a favorable Soviet response to Reagan's major public change in the START package, the lifting...
Some would say he could not. Though he has enough of the Marine fly-boy banter in him to mix easily with crowds, he is too prim about his public conduct to be the least bit theatrical. Glenn is a wooden speaker. But he has polished up his basic themes in the past six months and has somewhat improved his platform skills. Last month in Bangor, Me., the political loner seemed more comfortable with the stump ritual of holding out his arms and asking a group of local Democrats to please give him a hand...
...single seat by either camp would spell drastic changes in hotly debated city-wide policies such as zoning and rent control. So the release this spring of the first results from the 1980 census takes on special significance.

After a year and a half as editor of Harper's, the nation's oldest continuously published monthly (founded in 1850), Michael Kinsley, 32, was riding high. His provocative, sometimes flippant mix of articles won a National Magazine Award last month for general excellence. Within days, the magazine's board reported that lopping off unprofitable subscribers, which reduced the circulation from 325,000 to about 140,000, had cut annual losses from $2.4 million to $300,000. Nonetheless, last week Kinsley gave up one of the most visible jobs in magazine journalism for one of the more...
