Administration officials had a tough time containing their ebullience, and with good reason. In an interview on NBC's Today show last week (see PRESS), a top Soviet official hinted that Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko might be willing to accept an invitation from President Reagan to meet in Washington. The news could hardly have been more auspicious for Reagan, who consistently registers low poll marks on the issues of war and peace. The next day Reagan hastily called a press conference to say that the Gromyko meeting would take place on Sept...
...strange machinery of Soviet public relations continues to grind out communications about dissident Physicist Andrei Sakharov. In West Germany the mass-circulation daily Bild last week published a claim by Moscow-based Journalist Victor Louis, a favorite KGB conduit for slipping information to the West, that Sakharov, 63, had been released from a hospital in his exile home of Gorky.

Ogarkov is thought to have pushed for the start of talks in Vienna this fall on limiting the arms race in space, but he may have run up against opposition from his boss, Ustinov, and Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, who have all but given up on negotiations for the time being. Ogarkov may have also been singled out as the scapegoat for the Kremlin's failure to halt the deployment of new U.S.-built intermediate-range missiles in Europe, or he may have been blamed for the increasingly...
...that U.S. journalists will provide a more favorable picture of the U.S.S.R. than the Reagan Administration has. Says NBC Special Segment Producer Ron Bonn: "They apparently believe that access to a large American audience is worth the risk of exposure." Soviet officials nixed few requests: an interview with Dissident Andrei Sakharov, a visit to Kiev, any views of airports or shots from great heights. To ease the U.S. reporters' way, the Soviets provided sophisticated English-speaking coordinators from the state television network...
