New names for Soviet Union proposed in Kremlin debate
A call that dete Colc before Tl and vict in M Unit Fra
Three new names were proposed yesterday for the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, including two that do away with the word "Soviet."
In a parliamentary debate on the union treaty that is being drawn up between the Kremlin and the 15 Soviet republics, these names were proposed: the Union of Sovereign Socialist States; the Union of Soviet Sovereign Republics, and the Union of Euro-Asian Republics.

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.
The treaties, intended as a first step toward slowing the race to develop ever-larger nuclear capacity.
WASHINGTON The Senate yesterday decrealed that the treaties drafted during the depth of the Cold War must be ended.
Consent to ratification of the 1974 Threshold Test Ban Treaty and the 1976 Peaceful Nuclear Explosion Test
The Associated Press
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.
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.
LSAT GMAT CRE
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 treaties, which limit underground explosions to 150 kilotons or less, were drafted during the Nixon and Ford administrations but were held up by some experts about whether they could adequately be verified.
The TTBT puts a ceiling of 150 kilotons on the size of weapons tests and provides detailed procedures to ensure that the other side can accurately measure yields.
The PNET places identical on nuclear blasts for peaceful purposes, such as seismic explosions or excavation. The United States has detonated the bomb in Iraq in 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%.

Late night at Joe's Bakery

It is ten minutes past midnight. Ninth Street is nearly deserted. An exhausted-looking man in an all-night laundromat waits for the spin cycle to end. A car with its radio blaring speeds through a flashing yellow traffic light. A stray dog trots along the sidewalk, its tail pointing at the stars.
The only other sign of life is the long, twisting line of people standing outside Joe's Bakery, 616 W. Ninth Street, where on most nights one can find a steady stream of insomniae, students on study breaks and cops between calls who all share a subway and insatiable craving for a beverage, or one of Joe's famous hot glazed donuts.
Joe's Bakery opened 39 years ago when Joe Smith, who had been a baker in the navy, set up business in Lawrence. In 1979, he opened a bakery at Ralph, who still runs Joe's with his wife. Ralph
Not much has changed since Smith took over the business from his father. Prices
