FOR THOSE WHO have their own satellite dishes,
they now can have their own TV guide — called Satellite
TV World.

It's the only Canadian publication that lists television
programming for those who have satellite dishes.
Contrary to what you may think, the thing is not as thick
as an Oxford dictionary, but it is fairly hefty — 81 pages
in all.

It is in a format similar to other television guides,
only instead of outlining the usual networks at the begin-
aing, this guide lists the various satellites — 14 in all —
that circle the globe some 22,800 miles above the equator.

The only problem it seems to be that with the huge
listing service, by the time the viewer has found what he
wants to watch, it’s over.

Actually, the guide really zeros in on the TV stations
most viewers in B.C. watch — including CTV and CBC.
Other stations it lists in full include HBO, Showtime,
Movie Channel, WGN from Chicago, Cinemax, Spotlight,
HTN, WTBS from Atlanta, ESPN, CITV, from Edmonton
and CHCH from Hamilton — not a bad selection for those
who love video. The guide is published in Vernon.

Reagan disagrees
with limited war

WASHINGTON (AP) —
President Reagan, who
caused a furore in Europe 18

* months ago by suggesting
_ that limited nuclear war was

a possibility, now says he
doesn't believe the use of
such. weapons can be con-
tained.

“Throughout the postwar
years, the United States has
made clear that U.S. strat-
egic forces are coupled to the
defence of Western Europe,”
the president said in a writ-
ten response to questions
submitted by the West Ger-
man magazine Bunte.

The responses were given
April 25, but the White
House released a transcript
of the questions and answers
Tuesday.

During a meeting with
out-of-town editors Oct. 16,

1981, Reagan was asked
whether he believed a limited
exchange of nuclear weapons
between the United States

and the Soviet Union would
stay limited or if it would in-
evitably escalate.

“I don't honestly know,”
Reagan replied, adding: “I
could see where you could
have the exchange of tactical
weapons against troops in
the field without it bringing

either one of the major pow- -

ers to pushing the botton.”

The response caused alarm
‘in Europe and the president -
later issued a statement clar-
ifying his remarks and stress-
ing that “in a nuclear war, all
mankind would lose."

In his Bunte. interview,

Reagan was asked: “Do you
think a nuclear war limited to
Europe isa possibility?”
. He began ‘his answer with
the remark:.“I don’t believe a
limited nuclear ;war is pos-
sible,” and continued that the
U.S. had always made clear
its “stragegic forces are
coupled to the defence of
Western Europe.” <

sition to the testing “verges

ada relies on the United

tion, .

the cruise debate.

Soviets test missile

Though the 1979 treaty
was never ratified, both sides
have pledged to live by its
terms. The treaty permits
each side to test only one new
missile. For the United
States, that is the much-
debated MX missile.

The Soviets unsuccessfully
tested a new missile last Oc-

ber of ways from the new one
