...election campaign has raised almost $3 million, but contrived to spend most of it. One bright spot for Carter: the surprising number of donations that are rolling in from prominent Republicans, who apparently will do just about anything to stop Kennedy...
...certain provisions" be included in the Senate resolution approving the treaty. Unlike the "killer" amendments that are being proposed by SALT's critics, Byrd's measures would require no new bargaining with Moscow.

It is highly questionable whether stiffer controls or nationalization would spur more efficiency. The record of the Post...
...further ''military detente in Europe.'' As the most tempting carrot of all, he announced the unilateral withdrawal over the next year of as many as 20,000 Soviet troops and 1,000 tanks from East Germany. Brezhnev also said the Soviet Union would reduce the number of its medium-range nuclear missiles along its western frontier, provided NATO deploys no new ones...
