DIED. William Primrose, 77, world's foremost viola virtuoso whose sweet, pure tone and musicianship raised the viola to the rank of the violin and cello as a solo instrument; in Provo, Utah. The Glasgow-born Primrose was a violin prodigy before he switched to the larger viola, with which he felt "a sense of oneness that I never felt when playing the violin." A world-touring solo recitalist, he settled in the U.S. in 1937 and became first viola of the NBC Symphony under Arturo Toscanini.

...declaration that it would not use nuclear weapons first in any future conflict have had a definite but still uncertain effect on Reagan. Put on the defensive by a debate on nuclear war that it neither expected nor welcomed, the Administration has been forced to modify the tone, and to a lesser extent the substance, of the approach to arms talks that it would probably have preferred. Several slight substantive modifications can probably be attributed to Reagan's desire to counter the negative imagery which has portrayed him as less interested in negotiations than in preparing for an "inevitable" Armageddon...
