Carter picked up the same theme at dinner that evening in the U.S. residence, a relaxed affair attended by the two leaders and their closest aides. In one of the numerous toasts with Russian vodka, the President defined the U.S. world role as "one that supports change toward greater pluralism in and among societies." Moreover, he said, "that we have the power to destroy other nations does not mean we have a right or a need to control them." Brezhnev continued to be in good humor. Imbibing freely, he told stories about hunting in Siberia and the Georgian Republic...
Bond's-and the FAA's-problems are far from over. This week Burton's subcommittee will call Bond to testify about the DC-10's hydraulic system, thought to have played a critical role in the crash. Later, a House aviation subcommittee will begin hearings into the development of the plane that caused the nation's biggest air disaster. Properly conducted, the hearings may reveal a great deal about the weaknesses of the FAA, as well...
...make were made by tightly knit, masculine groups off on their own in some ruggedly photogenic country. The experience of making them under the direction of men like John Ford (who rescued Wayne from poverty-row westerns with Stagecoach) or Howard Hawks (who gave him that first leader-patriarch role in Red River) or Henry Hathaway (who made True Grit) taught him much about craftsmanship and professionalism.

The young man is enamored of Ali MacGraw, who is as pretty an older woman as she was a younger woman and, regrettably, is the same hopeless actress she has always been.

Unfortunately he keeps her very far away- in Mexico, while he is on a yacht off Monte Carlo. When he calls, she jumps, and all this abrupt, unexplained commuting takes its toll on Martin. A decent director...
...mistaken. Loss of the bees and the honey they produce (a $125 million-a-year industry) is not the only danger. More than 50 different crops grown in the U.S. depend on bees for pollination. Alfalfa alone requires two or three hives per acre. Bees also play a pivotal role in such favorites as almonds, apples, squash, melons, cherries and avocados; all told, bee-pollinated crops ring up $2 billion a year. One possible solution: restricted spraying of the capsules within four miles of hives, usually about as far as the bees ever buzz from home...
