No specified amount of time, like 30 sec. in the huddle or 24 sec. to shoot, but a good deal of time, a suspension of time, almost an absence of time. Last week's interruption, blessedly brief, was not a time-out but a time-in. The labor leaders were starting a clock in a timeless place. One baseball season is a novel that develops into a chapter that dissolves into a sentence and ends up a phrase. A career...

...number of "nuclear charges" in their arsenals, but they differ deeply on what warheads and bombs to put in that category. Progress, if any is possible, awaits a decision by Reagan to agree to some limits on his Star Wars defensive shield, or by Gorbachev to shoot for a deal without any such limits. On regional issues (such as Afghanistan and Central America) and human rights, the discussions amount largely to mutual accusations of meddling, subversion, repression...
