...Bruce Nelan, who followed the Soviet side of the talks, started covering SALT in 1977 as TIME'S defense specialist in Washington. White House Correspondent Chris Ogden who covered the U.S. delegation, was reporting from Moscow when Richard Nixon arrived to sign SALT lin 1972. For Diplomatic Correspondent Strobe Talbott, the Vienna summit was quite literally a final chapter, both in his extensive coverage of SALT II for TIME and in a book he is writing on the subject.

TIME Diplomatic Correspondent Strobe Talbott raced to synthesize five years of notes - replete with diplomatic circumlocutions and the technical jargon of weaponry - into a lucid history of SALT.

Each pipe housed a pinkish worm with an elegant, red, feathery plume. Alvin's robot-like arms grappled up samples, and still more on a return visit earlier this year. Amazingly, some were giant worms, ranging up to 8½ ft. in length...
