Cohabitators disdain marriage institution
CAMBRIIDGE, Mass. — Couples who live together before marrying have nearly an 80 percent higher divorce rate than those who do not. They also seem to have less regard for the institution of marriage, according to a study of Swedish women by the National Bureau of
Economic Research.
Swedes were chosen for the study because they tend to precede U.S. social trends by 10 to 15 years, said David Bloom, an economics professor at Columbia University in New York. Bloom was a co-researcher of the report.
Reagan 'warm' about Mount Rushmore
RAPID CITY, S.D. — President Reagan will take part in a documentary film about Mount Rushmore National Memorial, the White House announced.
"The president feels very warm about Mount Rushmore, and he
remembers a time when he was in South Dakota and his pilots did a fly-by (at the memorial), and he had his plane turn around and go back for another look." S. Lenary Pressler, R.S.D., said Saturday.

From The Associated Press.

WASHINGTON — Soviet and U.S. officials, on the eve of Mikhail Gorbachev's arrival here, hinted yesterday that a compromise is possible on Star Wars testing, while a massive demonstration in the U.S. capital and a violence-marred protest in Moscow under-scored differences on human rights.
Thirteen months after the breakup of the last superpower summit, Gorbachev arrives in Washington today for three days of talks with President Reagan and the signing of a treaty to eliminate intermediate-range nuclear missiles over three years.
Led by author Elie Wiesel and Soviet emigre Niatan Sharansky, the demonstrators carried signs asking "Where is glasnet for Soviet Jews?" and flags emblazoned with the Star of David. Some carried banners with the names of people refused permission to leave the Soviet Union.
toward a bolder agreement to cut long-range strategic nuclear weapons by half, paving the way for another summit by June in Moscow.
Acknowledging a shift in the once-rigid Soviet opposition to Reagan's Star Wars missile defense plan, known formally as the Strategic Defense Initiative, White House Chief of Staff Howard Baker said the Kremlin's position now is a little different than it appeared to have been a few weeks or months ago.
Both leaders said they were optimistic about making progress

Meanwhile, a massive crowd estimated by police at 200,000 took part in a demonstration march and held rallies or for free emigration of Soviet Jews.
In Moscow, more than 200 plainclothes security agents roughed up Jewish activists and journalists.
Reporters badger Soviet guests
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Soviet theater director Mikhail Ulyanov looked across rows of U.S. reporters and said, "Your questions testify that you think we live on a different planet."
spokenmen to use patience, not petulance, to allay U.S. suspicions. Their main refrain has been the need "to build bridges" between the two powers.
Georgi Arbatov, confronted yesterday on the NBC-TV program "Meet the Press" with news that police in Moscow suppressed a demonstration and detained an U.S. television reporter, dismissed it as an attempt to "throw sand into the wheels of the summit."
Ulyanov is one of a score of Soviet cultural and political figures who have been questioned by the U.S. press corps in a series of daily, pre-summit press conferences.
Ulyanov was aggravated by a long, combative question from a reporter who sought to link Gorbachev's policies with an essay in which 19th century novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky glorified the Russian empire.
The series has been called a "briefing war" in the days leading

Nevertheless, there is opposition to the plan, from those who are against any tax increase and from others that the spending cuts are much too timid.
Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, D-Texas,
chairman of the Finance Committee,
which wrote the tax bill, predicted it
would pass because it was "as painless
as possible" meaning the taxes
could hardly be by any
taxpayers. The burden will fall,
almost entirely on corporations and
upper-income individuals.
The framework for the anti-deficit measures was worked out by President Reagan and congressional leaders in an effort to show that partisan differences can be put aside in the national interest.
Sen. William Roth, R-Del, said he probably would vote no. He characterized the tax plan as "economic leeching," saying "raising taxes when we are trying to strengthen the economy is like blood letting for an anemic patient."
