...question of Brezhnev's health casts a long shadow over the nearly completed Strategic Arms Limitation treaty-and indeed over all of U.S.-Soviet relations. If Brezhnev is unable to see the marathon negotiations through to the end, a settlement and signing might be delayed for months-perhaps indefinitely. The very prospect of the struggle for succession may have been an element in the repeated delays over the Strategic Arms Limitation treaty...
...Rhodesia. You have got to go from where you are now: there is an internal settlement. There was an election, one person-one vote for four different parties.

In a series of articles entitled "Our Thalidomide Children: A Cause for National Shame," the Sunday Times made it clear that Distillers had been miserly with the Thalidomide victims. The stories provoked public outrage and pressured Distillers to raise its original settlement offer sevenfold, from an average of about $25,000 per child to $175,000. The articles were clearly in contempt of court. But the Sunday Times managed to avoid fines and jail terms by striking a deal: it agreed to show its final-and most damning-article to the government before...
