...President might not be eager to campaign next year for Republican Senators who failed to vote right--a tactic that almost backfired with Pennsylvania's Arlen Specter, who confronted Reagan about it during the Capitol Hill lunch. Specter and others also heard from Geneva, where Kampelman and Colleague John Tower, a former Senator, made calls to warn that the U.S. needed the MX as a bargaining tool...
...negotiating had taken place before the 1979 SALT II agreement. It seemed a fitting place to step into after the warm if formal greeting offered last week by Victor Karpov, the chief Soviet negotiator for a new round of arms talks, to his U.S. counterparts, Max Kampelman, John Tower and Maynard Glitman.

On Friday, Martens announced Belgium would proceed because an accord on limiting INF missiles would be "impossible in the short term"; hours later, the first cruises arrived in the country...
...Turks on the head, telling Picasso, for instance, that the two of them were the greatest artists of their time, "You in the Egyptian style, I in the modern." This gnomic utterance can only mean that Rousseau identified "modernity" with the salons: it was official speech, like the Eiffel Tower...
