...chance that Vance and Gromyko will still be able to devote most of their time in Geneva to arms limitation, which Vance insisted last week was "in our national interest." Since SALT first convened in Helsinki nine years ago, progress toward curbing atomic arsenals has been frustratingly slow, and there has been no ban at all on offensive weapons since the SALT I ceilings expired last October...

The real progress of the women's rights movement in America has been, and will continue to be, agonizingly slow. We are still an outrageously sexist nation, and there are only minor signs of change, and the feminist movement has by and large collapsed into a rather bizarre disarray. Yet 100,000 people marched in Washington to show their support for women's rights, and millions more must surely realize...
