...however, a game with most uncertain prospects. Mikhail Gorbachev and his chief Americanologist, Georgi Arbatov, have been talking of Soviet eagerness to negotiate arms reduction. Arbatov, on a December visit to Washington, went so far as to hint about a compromise on SDI that would permit a vigorous research-and-develo pment program, prohibiting only advanced, large-scale testing that could lead to quick deployment. However, such remarks may be intended partly to intensify pressure on Reagan to make a deal -- and intensify criticism if he does not.

"He's a politician who loves politics." A widower, Andropov has a son, Igor, 37, who has worked under Soviet Americanologist Georgi Arbatov at Moscow's Institute of U.S.A. and Canada Studies. According to Hough, Arbatov has had a long personal and professional relationship with Andropov and may now become the equivalent of national security adviser to the new General Secretary...
