Thus on the campaign trail Ford plans to emphasize his capabilities in foreign affairs. Whether or not a SALT deal is signed, the President is committed to support detente. If he fails to defend it now, he may encourage isolationism and a return to the cold war-and lose the election as well. But to defend detente the President also has to stand up for its chief architect, Kissinger. Says a top presidential adviser...
Chocolate cake, a bottle of Califor nia champagne and a lot of razzing greeted Republican Presidential Candi date Ronald Reagan when he reached 65 last week. Reporters on the campaign trail offered application forms for Social Security and Medicare, and composed a ditty to the tune of California, Here I Come.

Particularly punishing are the 200-meterlong penalty loops that competitors in the relay race must run if they fail to break a target. It is all a far cry from the origins of the sport in Lapland, when dinner depended on a hunter's accuracy. Heikki Ikola of Finland could win the individual event; the Soviets and Finns will go head...
