...Nuclear stalemate" is a phrase frequently used to describe the equation of the U.S. and Soviet Russia. The fact is that it is not truly a stalemate but a competition. To curb that competition and to establish an agreed-upon balance of destructive power have long been elusive hopes. In his Inaugural Address in January, the President declared: "With those who are willing to join, let us cooperate to reduce the burden of arms." For a long time, it seemed, the right people were not willing. After confidently predicting that U.S.-Soviet talks to limit arms would begin in August...
...Parent Power. One of Spiro Agnew's problems is simply candor. He is a blunt man with strong views, and he wants the world to know about them. Last week he told a Newsday columnist, Nick Thimmesch, that he had prevented his daughter Kim, 13, from marching and wearing a black armband on Moratorium Day. "She was unhappy about it for a day," Agnew said, "but she got over it. Parental-type power must be exercised...
...Helou's government is to remain in power, it will probably have to back down and give even freer rein to the guerrillas. The President indicated as much with a message to Arafat, carefully promising that "Lebanon is ready to continue to support the Palestinian struggle within the limits of its ability."

For a while, there had been some doubt whether there would be a Brandt government at all. After last month's national elections, Brandt made a daring grab for power (TIME Cover, Oct. 10). Neither his Social Democrats nor the conservative Christian Democratic Union, partners for nearly three years in a Grand Coalition, had won an outright majority. Outmaneuvering the Christian Democrats, who won 242 seats in the 496-seat Bundestag to the Socialists' 224, Brandt formed an alliance...
...power at the plate won him six American League batting titles, while his unruly temper earned him the sobriquet "Terrible Ted." Returning to baseball this season as manager of the Washington Senators, Ted Williams set out to prove that "doing very little for eight years except fishing" had dulled none of his baseball dazzle. He was right. The Senators posted their first winning season in 17 years to finish fourth in division standings. For that, the Associated Press voted him American League Manager of the Year. Told the news by telephone, Williams was nonplussed. "I'm flabbergasted," he said...
