...SALT negotiations, tagged SALT II, are expected to begin soon. They will concentrate at first on putting the offensive weapons agreement into treaty form. Then the Russians will undoubtedly renew their demand that U.S. tactical nukes in Europe be limited; the U.S. will resist. The U.S. may also demand some limitation on the megatonnage of ICBMS. The U.S.S.R. has shown a preference for far bigger bombs than the U.S.; it is known to be working on a 50-megaton missile (the biggest U.S. weapon is the 5-to 10-megaton Titan II). Toughest of all will be any attempts...
...spectacle hard to resist for a man who has been deprived of attention all his life. Marshall McLuhan has written hopefully of the global village of shared tastes and sympathies that television is creating. But along with the village has come the village idiot, vastly strengthened by technology, torn loose from the mores that used to restrain him.

They will be married (he for the fifth time, she for the first) on June...
Though the two Queens were never within shouting distance of one another, romantic playwrights and librettists could not resist bringing them together in a dramatic confrontation. On this point, the new scriptwriters split. Hollywood does Schiller's and Donizetti's single meeting one better and stages two, both full of ear-splitting cliches and sounding uncannily like a commercial for Tide or Cheer. In Vivat, Bolt finds his own not particularly happy solution by placing Elizabeth and Mary onstage at the same time, but in separate scenes. TV's Elizabeth R, by far the most accurate...
