Debate on Bork begins in Senate; arguments follow partisan lines
WASHINGTON — The Senate opened debate yesterday on Robert H. Bork's Supreme Court nomination, ready by all accounts to reject his nomination, but only because of fierce, highly partisan floor fight.
Supporters and opponents of the 60-year-old appellate judge took turns restating off-repeated themes, focusing on Bork's record
and on the intense lobbying campaigns conducted by both sides.
President Reagan came under criticism by Bork opponents, who said he politicized the nomination by picking an ideologue. Gregory Peck was denounced by Bark supporters and that the candidate tortured the nominee's record in a television commercial urging his defeat.
U.S. economist wins Nobel Memorial Prize
STOCKHOLM, Sweden — U.S. researcher Robert M. Solow won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences yesterday for explaining how savings and technology make an economy grow.
Solow, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Mass., won the prize for a
mathematical formula published in 1956 that demonstrated how those two factors, along with labor and capital, affect a nation's economic future.
In awarding the prize, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences cited him for "his contributions to the theory of economic growth."
Study shows drug improves SAT scores
NEW YORK — A drug used to control high blood pressure has dramatically improved Scholastic Aptitude Test scores for students suffering from unusually severe anxiety, according to a preliminary study.
There is no evidence that the drug will help students who suffer from normal pre-test anxiety, the
study's author, Harris Faigel, said yesterday.
Faigel had given propranolol, one of the class of heart drugs called beta blockers, to 25 high-risk patients improved by a mean of 50 points on the verbal part of the test and 70 points on the mathematics part.

Shultz confident in arms talks
HELSINKI Finland — Secretary of State George Shultz set out for fog-shrouded Moscow by train yesterday and said he was certain he would make headway on arms control in two days of talks with Soviet officials.
But he was guarded about arrangements for a third Reagan-Gorbachev summit.
I think we and the Soviets both agree meetings between the top leaders are very desirable." Shulz told his conference in the Finnish capital.
But, he said, summits must be well-prepared "and produce substantive results." Shultz said his team of researchers used the frame and constructive frame of mind."
In Washington, President Reagan was asked about prospects for a 50-year
"We've heard that they've made a statement about wanting a summit, but they haven't officially notified us.
hite House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater, asked about Reagan's comment, said the administration should stop sending the Soviets about a summit meeting.
Fitzwater said Reagan apparently was referring to a comment in the Soviet government newspaper Izvestie about Kremlin interest in a summit.
I figured they were waiting for the secretary," Reagan said.
Shultz and his entourage of senior U.S. specialists on Soviet affairs, security agents and reporters had visited the airport. Air Force jets to the Soviet capital.
But bad weather compelled a change in plans, and they instead embarked on a train ride expected to take at least 12 hours.
"It's an interesting way to see a little more of the country." Shultz said, though much of the journey via Leningrad would be at night.
He is scheduled to see Foreign Minister Eduard A. Shevardnadze
tomorrow and Communist Party General Secretary Mikhail S. Gorbachev on Friday.
"I'm sure we'll make headway in the field of arms control," Shultz said. "It's only a question of how much."
He said he hoped to clear remaining hurdles for a treaty to scrap U.S. and Soviet intermediate-range nuclear missiles worldwide and to make progress on curbing long-range bombers, missiles and submarines.
Reagan and Gorbachev reached an understanding last year in their Iceland summit meeting to slash strategic arms arsenals by 50 per cent.
But U.S. and Soviet negotiators disagree on cuts in specific weapons, while the Soviets also want to restrict Reagan's program to develop a space-based defense against missiles. Shultz said he hoped "we can devote a substantial part of our time to this subject" in Moscow.

From The Associated Press.
appeared aimed at creating a framework for substantive talks on tax and spending issues.
"We're just starting," said James Baker after a closed-door meeting with Senate Majority Leader Robert C. Bryd, D-W.Va.
WASHINGTON — President Reagan yesterday sent his top aides to set up deficit-reduction talks with Congress, but he renewed a hard line against tax increases that Democrats call necessary for progress on the budget.
Wright said in a statement released yesterday that he and Byrd wanted the personal assurance of the president that the meetings would be open to credible suggestions and held without any preconditions.
White House Chief of Staff Howard H. Baker Jr., Treasury Secretary James A. Baker III and presidential budget director James C. Miller III met with congressional leaders of both parties. Their meetings

Byrd said tax increases were not ruled out in that meeting. But mixed signals from the White House and Reagan's failure to personally get involved in the talks left Democrats with doubts.
Spokesman Marlin Fitzwater said the session would be held in the East Beverly Hills.
Wright, D-Texas, who also met with Reagan's aides, asked for a direct meeting with the president.

WASHINGTON — President Reagan will appear in a nationally broadcast news conference tomorrow night, his first formal question-and answer session at the White House since March 19.
Both Reagan and Fitzwater had hinted in recent days that the president would soon make himself available to the White House news corps after repeated inquiries by news organizations and attempts to question Reagan during picture-taking sessions.
Fitzwater said Reagan did not have any particular announcements to make, as the president often does at the outset of news conferences. He also said he doubted that Reagan would have any information on a possible date for another summit. "Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev
Reagan has had few formal news conferences since the Iran-contra affair surfaced in early November 1986. He met with reporters at the White House on May 24, 1986. He did not conduct another news conference there until March 19.
ms latest session with reporters occurred at the end of the seventh nation economic summit in Venice, Italy, on June 11.
