...breakthrough in antisubmarine warfare). But the stickiest and most controversial part of the trade-off would be the limits the Soviets would demand on SDI. Here their position has been evolving. A year ago they wanted to ban not only development and testing but also research on ''space-strike arms,'' a term they defined in a way that was so comprehensive and one-sided it might have meant the cancellation of the space shuttle. Then, in an interview last August with TIME, Gorbachev said that what he called fundamental research would not be covered by the ban. But Soviet officials...
...advocacy of a belt-tightening austerity program in a time of staggering unemployment, Delatour is ridiculed by some of his countrymen as a toutou, or puppy, of the Americans. After a fortnight of unrest, the country appeared to be settling down last week as a one-day national strike passed uneventfully.

Management has stated that it seeks a wage settlement ''competitive'' with the rest of the industry, which has gone through a massive economic shake-out. Union Negotiator James McGeehan, who is seeking wage increases of about 4% and lifelong job security, replies, ''We also need a competitive agreement...
...help fill seats on its Europe-bound planes. The airline is heavily promoting its new ''Alert'' security measures, which place armed guards and sniffer dogs in most Pan Am terminals. TWA is offering similar incentives, but last week the troubled airline, which has just weathered a ten-week strike by flight attendants, suffered another jolt with the departure of President Richard D.
