...economies and politics after communism. And yet the first major initiative from the West is membership in a military alliance. What they really need is membership in the European Union. That is not happening because the Europeans think offering NATO membership is easier and cheaper for them. After the nonprogress at last month's E.U. summit in Amsterdam, it is clear that its expansion will be smaller and slower than the Americans, and the new applicants, had hoped...
...President has sought to reassure the public by pursuing nuclear arms control with the Soviet Union, so far with scant success. Reagan's chief negotiator in the intermediate-range nuclear forces (INF), or Euromissile, talks, Paul Nitze, last week gave the Senate Foreign Relations Committee a nonprogress report. Despite Reagan's proposal for an "interim solution" in INF, Nitze held out little hope for a negotiated settlement before new U.S. missiles are scheduled for installation in Western Europe later this year. Edward Rowny was equally grim in his report to the committee on Strategic Arms Reduction Talks (START...
...nearly half his life have provided various punishments, they have also given him a context for looking into his own mind. Since what frightens him about his mind was nurtured in prison, the process of self-examination is as circular and enclosed as Sy's upstate odyssey.

...built itself an enormous drum. The outer rim houses six theaters that revolve around a series of stages showing American home life (appliance division) at 20-year intervals from the turn of the century to the present. Moving, talking, life-size dummies inhabit the sets, which unintentionally plug nonprogress by going from a scene that recalls the cozy charms of the icebox, wood stove, gaslight era to one that all too plainly spells out the sterile joys and chilly conveniences of a modern electric home that has little taste and no charm...
