Newsweek looks at Britain's defence budget, now in danger of being overstretched between strategic commitments and the rapid escalation of weapons and equipment costs. There is economic stringency at home, while President Reagan is calling for higher spending on NATO.
Is it now time to consider radical solutions, like reducing the size of the Navy? How great a force should we keep in Germany? And how much do we really need to spend on the independent nuclear deterrent? David Jessel reports.

The Rembrandt Collection Narrated by Marius Goring
The Hermitage Museum in Leningrad has the most spectacular collection of Rembrandts in the world, outside Amsterdam. Most of them were bought by Catherine the Great who, as she put it, ' got her claws into' the collection of an English Prime Minister, Sir Robert Walpole. There are no self-portraits, but every other phase of the artist's career is there, notably some of Rembrandt's greatest pictures inspired by the Bible - The Sacrifice of Isaac, David and Jonathan, The Prodigal Son.
