The first round of sessions, lasting perhaps only a few weeks, will concentrate not on real issues but primarily on setting an agenda and other preliminaries. If neither side makes unreasonable demands, substantive bargaining could begin soon afterward. Despite the belated Russian response, Secretary of State William Rogers terms the Soviets "serious" in their desire to negotiate.

...field of grass," the Beatles sing in "Mother Nature's Son." And, in the picture collage included with the words to The Beatles there is a very strange picture, in the upper left corner, of Paul's head lying in a pool of water. There is also a weird photograph, not far from the lower right corner, in which a bespectacledman seems to be threatening a shuttered Paul...
