The piece argues that detente hinges on material factors like wheat supplies and military balance, not personalities. It analyzes Soviet grain imports, NATO aims, and SALT II, suggesting Western leverage at Helsinki may be wasted by Kissinger's approach while long-term strength matters more than immediate diplomacy. It cites Solzhenitsyn, Meany, Ford, Brezhnev, and mentions Reagan and Wallace as potential future exploiters.
The article notes a Macmillan initiative to remove sexist stereotypes from textbooks and illustrations. It promotes equal roles for men and women, renaming terms like coed, and portraying households without gender bias. A satirical line envisions an apron trial with famous figures.
The Apollo Soyuz crew shows age need not limit space dreams. The youngest, Valery Kubasov, is 40, while Deke Slayton at 51 adds seasoned experience. The piece notes middle aged explorers can still pursue adventurous space work with aid to suits and training.
