Senate ratifies 2 treaties that limit nuclear testing
The treaties, intended as a first step toward slowing the race to develop ever-larger nuclear bombs.
But the verification procedures, which provide for on-site inspection teams (fielded by both sides, may become important precedents for more ambitious treaties to come, supporters said.

WASHINGTON The Senate yesterday treated treaties depicted during the deaths of the Cold War.
The treaties, which limit underground explosions to 150 kilotons or less, were drafted during the Nixon and Ford administrations but were held in office until they became about whether they could adequately be verified.
Those doubts were largely erased by a new set of verification rules agreed to by Bush and Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev on June 1 during their Washington summit meeting. The verification rules, in many ways, are more important than the testing limits imposed by the treaty.
The treaties lag far behind current arms control reality, which contemplates massive reductions in the U.S. and Soviet nuclear arsenals and sharp cuts in conventional forces.
The Carter administration wanted a comprehensive test ban rather than a limitation. The Reagan administration held them up because it believed the United States would be unable to verify Soviet compliance, and charged that Moscow had violated the ceiling on at least two dozen occasions.
The TTBT puts a ceiling of 150 kilometers on the size of weapons tests and provides detailed procedures to ensure that the other side can accurately measure yields.
The PNET places identical limits on nuclear blasts for peaceful purposes, such as seismic exploration or excavation. The United States has been a major player in the nuclear era from 1973, and the Soviets ceased such blasts in 1988.
The Bush administration vigorously opposes suspending China's 10-year-old status as a most-favored nation trading partner, which effectively reduces the tariffs on Chinese imports by 90

lawrence's live theater scene may be thriving, but many KU students don't take advantage of it, some local theater leaders said.
Jack Wright, director of theater at KU, said that although the smaller Inge Theater productions sell out easily, it usually takes a week before word-of-mouth begins to help fill the 1.100-seat Crafton-Preyer Theater. Both are in Murphy Hall.
"I don't think that theater is a regular part of the ordinary KU student's life, and that is unfortunate," said Mary Doveton, director of the Lawrence Community Theater
"There is a lot of competition for students' attention. Wright said, "We competed with each other."
Wright said that students should be aware that a play or musical was a good way to explore a new concept.
"The season ticket price is a great deal.
It's a great place to go with a group of
friends."
Wright said that KU's productions were chosen with issues in mind that would be addressed.
"On the Verge" is a fabulous story, and
"Meda Myth' deeds with women' issues."
