...proposal straightforward, at least from the Soviet perspective. A few hours before Reagan delivered his speech, Ambassador to Moscow Arthur Hartman visited Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko to present an hour-long preview. The Kremlin's official response was predictably brusque and negative. "A mere propaganda action," scoffed Pravda. But there were a few small signs that the Kremlin might be willing to discuss some of the U.S. proposals at the long-stalled talks on reducing nuclear forces in Europe, which are scheduled to begin in Geneva next week.

A thundering voice "On Friday the 13th, 1980, (Kathy Sue Whittaker?)'s 12 closest friends were brutally murdered. What made her think Friday the 13th, 1981, would be any different?" The title unfolds: "FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH--PART TWO." I felt like I was 20,000 leagues beneath the Charles.
