...Congress too influential voices are calling for negotiations. Senate Armed Services Committee chairman Sam Nunn last week proposed a U.S. commitment to negotiate in return for three conditions: the West Germans would agree not to reduce all the way to zero; no actual reductions would be made until the outcome of talks on conventional arms becomes clear; and Bonn would accept modernization of whatever Lance force remains...
...test, Silvera puts palladium in a deuterium solution, which he then squeezes together with a high-pressure apparatus. He said his goal is to make the deuterium nuclei fuse together at a temperature of 120 degrees Kelvin, which corresponds to 245 degrees below zero Fahrenheit...
Anniversaries are television's most annoying bad habit. No TV series, it seems, can pass a milestone ending in zero (Barbara Walters' 50th special, Sesame Street's 20th season) without leading us on a forced march down Memory Lane.

On April 20, 1939, RCA formally introduced the modern system of TV broadcasting at the New York World's Fair. One could just as plausibly trace TV's origin back to 1927, when the nation's first experimental TV stations went...

Belushi, the brilliant, volatile star of Saturday Night Live and films like National Lampoon's Animal House, has become a posthumous icon, a symbol of the raucous counterculture comedy that Saturday Night Live spearheaded in the '70s. But cinematic tales of drug abuse (Less Than Zero, Clean and Sober) have fizzled at the box office, and Wired is an especially downbeat example. What's more, with Belushi's work so vividly remembered (and still widely available in TV reruns), a movie re-creation might seem morbidly gratuitous, even by Hollywood standards...
