While all this delicate jockeying was going on, Reagan suffered an arms control setback of a quite different sort at the hands of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee-a wound that was, in a sense, self-inflicted. The committee refused to confirm Kenneth Adelman, 36, now the deputy permanent U.S. representative to the United Nations, as head of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, which supervises the U.S. negotiators. The committee of nine Republicans and eight Democrats had been expected narrowly to approve Adelman, sending the nomination to the floor. There the Administration expected to win confirmation after a stiff...
...team more than a quarter-century ago, "reached back a few years for the best fast ball I could find," and struck Ernie Banks out swinging. Catcher Albano and Short stop Ike Ackerman, a 44-year-old Iowa attorney, rifled sharp singles off Cub South paw Rich Nye and wound up with 1.000 batting averages against big leaguers.

Last week two of the detectives suspended in the Martin incident were formally charged, one for attempted murder, the other for attempting to wound.

Syberberg revels in the obvious sexual metaphors of the spear and the wound that will not heal; the wound, which is supposed to be in Amfortas' side, is a disembodied thing that lies ulcerating on a bed next to the suffering knight. Most startling of all is the changing of Parsifal from a man (Michael Kutter) into a woman (Karen Krick) at the moment he rejects the erotic advances of the temptress Kundry...
...creator of Donkey Kong, absorbed a swift kick in December after Warner Communications, owner of Atari, projected a fourth-quarter slump in earnings caused by disappointing videogame sales. Coleco suffered in the ensuing market selloff, but then it bounced back. Having started the year 6⅞, the Stock wound up at 36¾. By last Friday, it had risen another 5%, thanks to Coleco's announcement that 1982 earnings could be quintuple those...
