Moscow

The Soviet Union has urged the United Nations to call for an immediate world-wide halt to the production of nuclear weapons. The Soviet government also asked the UN to declare the first use of any nuclear weapon a crime. Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko made the proposals in letters sent to UN Secretary General Javier Perez de Cuellar. The United Nations will consider the proposals. Mr Gromyko said the United States and the Soviet Union could be an example for the rest of the world by being the first to halt all nuclear arms production.

Beijing

Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Leonid Illychev has arrived for talks on establishing normal relations between China and the Soviet Union. The talks reopened later today. Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Qian Qichen welcomed the Soviet official at Beijing Airport. Mr Qian said he hopes for progress in the talks.

The United Nations

Kampuchean opposition leader Prince Norodom Sihanouk has again urged the General Assembly to call for the withdrawal of Vietnamese forces from Kampuchea. Prince Sihanouk told the UN Assembly that the situation in Kampuchea is growing much worse. He said that about 600,000 Vietnamese civilians are in Kampuchea along with Vietnamese occupation forces.The Kampuchean opposition leader said the Vietnamese settlers are destroying his country's society and farmland. But Prince Sihanouk told the General Assembly that his opposition coalition is strong and growing.

Words And Their Stories (4'49")

---- Nose

It is not surprising that the human nose has given language some of its most imaginative expressions. Without a nose, how could we breathe or smell? And does any part of a person's face give it more of its special character than the nose, large or small? Cyrano de Bergarac said that a great nose showed a great man ---- courageous, courteous, manly and intellectual. Of course, he was a fanatic when it came to noses. But how true were the words of the poet who said that when she smelled a rose she felt it was a great sorrow that she had only one nose. Clearly the nose has had a major part in man's imagination and then the expression of many different kinds of emotions. For example, the expressionto hold up one's noseshows one of man's basic feelings ---- pride. On the other hand, a person who thinks he is better than others willturn up his nose.

Then we have a number of expressions that show man's weakness. One isto be led by the nose,letting others control him. As Shakespeare said,There are many who are led by the nose by gold. Other expressions show man's skill, as in a newspaper reporter whohas a nose for newsor a leader who has a nose for trouble.And for those who feel rejected, we say thattheir noses have been put out of joint.The expression is about 500 years old. This expression is used to describe someone who has been turned away or another. For example when someone is not invited to a party, or when a child feels rejected when a newborn baby is brought into the home, their noses have been put out of joint, though usually for only a short time.

For the powerful human emotions of revenge and spite, we have the expressionto cut off your nose to spite your face.A man who will injure himself just to get the satisfaction of revenge against another is cutting off his nose to spite his face.

There are a few other expressions based on the human nose:to keep one's nose to the grindstone,to work very hard without looking up, to work long hours to reach a goal;to take a nose dive,to fail, to fall like an uncontrolled plane; to count noses,to make a list of your supporters or opponents; and on the nose,exactly right on time.
