...years to give a benefit concert when she performed for Phillips Brooks House at Sanders Theater. Her next recital will be at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. later this month, and she has been invited to compete in the Gina Bauchauer International Piano Competition in Salt Lake City. And to top it all off, she will be performing for the American Academy of Arts and Sciences this fall...
Confronted with the wettest eight-month period in 57 years, commissioners in six Utah counties first applied their customary solution. They urged residents to pray for an end to the rain that has been swelling Great Salt Lake, which has risen 13 ft. in the past five years, threatening Interstate 80, Salt Lake City international airport and shoreline industries that mean $1 billion to the state...
...young American actresses. Try seeing Laura Dern's superior performance as a hormone-fogged California adolescent in Smooth Talk, for instance, and then envision her in a Victorian corset and long skirt.

Reagan promised to take their views into account when the matter is discussed at another NSC meeting, perhaps this week. Abandoning SALT II would be a blow to the sputtering arms-control talks that resumed in Geneva last week. The timing could also be awkward: the Soviets are now hinting that they may agree to a Washington summit between Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev in December, just when the breach would occur...
