...missile launchers, making inspection a relatively routine task. As for ABM systems, the Russians are not about to permit on-site inspection-or dismantling-of Galosh. Neither is a U.S. President likely to risk a political uproar by canceling plans for the "thin" $5.5 billion Sentinel system. A pact that would place severe limits on both systems, and keep down their enormous costs, is feasible, though on-the-ground verification is certain to remain a thorny issue, given the deeply ingrained fear of espionage that persists in Russia's closed society...
Last week the two parties agreed to a pact that will be submitted to the balky union membership. The key issue was the wage package; noneconomic issues, such as work rules or automation, were subsidiary. The unions, whose members were making from $134 to $174 a week, demanded a $36 weekly wage in crease over a 36-month contract. The settlement provides for a $33-a-week wage increase over a 341-month contract. The unions that held out won a slightly better pact than the Teamsters, who had settled for $30 a week last March. But the extra...

Reflecting an understandable fear of Japanese economic domination, the Philippine Senate has dragged its feet on ratification of a proposed commercial treaty with Japan for more than six years. Yet even without a pact, business ties between the two countries have grown so fast that Japan now accounts for 42% of the Philippines' total foreign trade. That trade particularly rankles Manila's mayor, Antonio Villegas, 40, who has shown his displeasure by noisily trying to expel from his city 17 major Japanese firms...
Flying into rain-soaked Manhattan, the President made a calculated surprise visit to address the U.N. General Assembly, whose members had just voted, 95 to 4, to endorse the nuclear nonproliferation pact. When it is signed by the U.S., Russia, Britain and 40 non-nuclear countries, the treaty will prohibit traffic in nuclear arms and war materiel between the atomic haves and havenots, and at the same time encourage the spread of peaceful know-how and materials. Although two atomically armed nations-France and Red China-will not sign the treaty, and such nations as India, Israel and West Germany...
