The authors remind readers unnecessarily that runners' "arms should move in a pendulum fashion, bending at the elbows with a smooth rhythm that matches the cadence of the stride," or, after an overlong section on diet, conclude that foods that tend to make runners sick should be avoided before races. The two walking books, both titled The Complete Book of Walking (Simon & Schuster; $10, and Farnsworth; $9.95), have been padded out with chapters explaining such obvious things as the need...

Attend only required events, spend the rest of your time partying with a carefully selected group of equally cool people.

Vienna officials were taking the summit preparations very much in stride. The Redoutensaal was occupied last week by negotiators at the interminable M.B.F.R. talks on troop reductions in Central Europe. Not until this week could workmen begin erecting bleacher seats for the 1,200 journalists expected to witness the SALT II signing. That the agreement on nuclear weapons will be signed...
