Director Trevor Nunn, who can thread the needle's eye of nuance and possesses a searching eye for detail, has set the play in what the late Kenneth Tynan called "a timeless Edwardia." Helena, a kind of lady-in-waiting to the Countess of Rossillion (Peggy Ashcroft), burns with love for "a bright particular star," the countess's son Bertram. A physician's daughter, Helena follows Bertram to the Court of France and cures the mortally ill King (John Franklyn-Robbins...
Other Democrats in the forefront of those urging Reagan to accept SALT II are former Secretary of State Cyrus Vance, Senators Sam Nunn of Georgia and John Glenn of Ohio and Congressman Les Aspin of Wisconsin.

In that he is quite right, as to a large extent the first two SALT treaties merely "choreographed" the continuing arms race...
Amid the chaos, Baker quietly began rebuilding egos and bridges. He first went to Stevens and persuaded him to apologize to Nunn. The three of them then joined to calm Levin down. Baker was eventually able to forge a consensus: a compromise resolution to keep programs funded for four months was passed, 60 to 35. Said Baker's Senate confidant, Republican Richard Lugar of Indiana: "He just remains congenial until the other side runs...
