Last week, as if by legerdemain, Reagan and Gorbachev leaped out of the tape cans simultaneously 5,000 miles apart, proclaiming 1986 a "year of peace." Early estimates suggest that as many as 60 million Americans may have seen Gorbachev in an ornate Kremlin chamber urge "saving up, bit by bit, the most precious capital there is--trust among nations and peoples." That's the lingo of capitalists, and it must have found its mark. There was only a smattering of complaints from viewers who preferred to see the Rose Parade or the soap All My Children.

Only in an extreme case--like that of Neil, a sensitive scholar who has become a derelict, with speech rhythms and nervous tics that suggest the young Tony Perkins--does 28 Up offer a character as full and mysterious as we might find in a novel, or in an old friend. But it is not Apted's failing that he refuses to unearth tabloid headlines for his young-old friends...
Twelve years ago we worked as group parents in the community-center programs initiated by Sisters Mary Paul and Geraldine, and we were delighted to see your story about them.
