...American delegation will stay at a resort hotel called Fisherman's Hut, which overlooks the Bay of Finland. At present, the Americans hope to probe Soviet intentions for a couple of weeks and then return to Washington for instructions before serious talks...

No kin to the late playwright, he likes to toss off lines like "My first and greatest present to Gina is my love." In Rome, where they announced plans to marry, the pair was mobbed by the press.

At present, most visa holders cannot remain in the U.S. for more than 18 months. This week representatives of organized labor will appear before the committee to argue against the bills. Another joint Senate-House bill aimed at correcting some of the law's more obvious flaws will be introduced this week by Senator Edward Kennedy and Ohio Congressman Michael...
