...American cruiser had shown up in the Baltic Sea, and that West Germany had intensified its naval exercises there. The Soviets are on the verge of achieving their most concrete gain to date in Iceland, which is known as "the cork in the bottle" for the entire northern tier of NATO's defenses. From Iceland, U.S. Navy aircraft keep track of Russian craft moving through the Faeroe Channel and the Denmark Strait-including subs carrying Polaristype missiles targeted on U.S. cities.

He disposed of all furniture, building a complex of multilevel platforms covered with carpeting. Now guests sit, lie or sprawl, and flop from one tier to another as conversations catch their interest. "In a 10-ft. by 12-ft. area," says Slavkin's wife Kay, "we've had as many as twelve people in practically as many postures." Black also revamped the Slavkins' staid, traditional Los Angeles house. "The problem," he says, "was a cold, formal...
