...remains to be completed. Also, START in some ways seems designed to curb the arms race of the 1980s rather than the one that might occur in the '90s; it makes its greatest reductions in the numbers of ballistic-missile warheads, which have been gradually losing prominence to the newer cruise missiles as both sides modernize their nuclear arsenals. Consequently, the cut in total warheads deployed will not be 50%, as often stated, but 30% to 35%. Under some circumstances, there could be no overall reduction: because of complex rules that count bombers as carrying fewer warheads than they...
Anyone who is still stuck on the question of who killed Laura Palmer is hopelessly out of date. There are so many other, newer conundrums in the secret-infested town of Twin Peaks.

Because Hispanics are so numerous and Asians such a fast-growing group, they have become the "hot" minorities, and blacks feel their needs are getting lower priority. As affirmative action has broadened to include other groups -- and to benefit white women perhaps most of all -- blacks perceive it as having...
Reviews designed to encourage or discourage attendance have the further ill effect of making the productions dependent on the reviewer's opinions. No one should shy away from the Ex because one reviewer disliked an experiment, nor should newer, less secure actors and actresses hesitate about accepting a role for fear of being pilloried in print for their director's risktaking. Freedom from expectations, a willingness to be surprised, is the price of admissions to the Ex, a fair exchange for the free ticket...
DANCE THEATER OF HARLEM, John F. Kennedy Center, Washington. This intrepid group has financial troubles it doesn't deserve and will probably shut down for a few months after this run. Meanwhile, it mixes old favorites (John Taras' Firebird) with ambitious newer productions (a program of Bronislava Nijinska's works, including Les Noces). Through March...
