What will happen when the two sides finally get down to setting a date to begin the talks? First, the U.S. and the Soviets must take stock of just where they stand. In existing offensive weapons delivery systems, both sides have intercontinental bombers, land-based ICBMs and atom-powered submarines with sea-launched nuclear missiles. The U.S. has 510 B-52 and 80 B58 jet bombers as against 150 turboprop Soviet TU-95 Bears. There are 1,054 Minuteman and Titan II U.S. ICBMs, v. about 1,000 Russian ICBMs in the SS series. Undersea, the U.S. has 41 Polaris...
Tidy and appealing as such hypotheses may seem, enormous obstacles stand in the way of their becoming reality. For example, even on the point of a mutual moratorium on further MIRV testing there is disagreement within the Nixon Administration itself: the Pentagon strongly wants to press ahead with MIRV, while Gerard Smith, who has been designated the chief U.S. SALT negotiator, made it known last week that he thinks a MIRV test ban should be the first item of business with the Soviet Union.

While Carson has Ed McMahon as his sidekick on the Tonight Show, and Bishop has Regis Philbin, Griffin uses his longtime TV majordomo, Arthur Treacher, as a kind of Jeeves. Carson prefers to stand out as the star of his own show, throwing out quips and gags, staging frequent offerings from the Mighty Carson Art Players, and frequently upstaging his guests. Bishop, on the other hand, uses his Los Angeles base to good advantage. He concentrates primarily on show-biz types, often letting them...
...internal friction and the pressures of constant playing. With Blind Faith, Winwood does all the singing, while the others provide a solid harmonic core down below. To dazzle audiences, Cream used to display a lot of virtuosity and instrumental grandstanding for its own sake. "Now," insists Clapton, "the songs stand up themselves, and what we're playing just complements the songs...
