...past year or so, Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko and other Soviet officials have hinted at flexibility about permitting some sort of "cooperative measures," perhaps including very limited on-site inspection, in future agreements. But it is virtually inconceivable that the Kremlin would grant the U.S. a carte blanche search warrant to inspect not just launch sites but perhaps storage areas and even production facilities...
...point obviously struck home in Moscow too, provoking the Kremlin into an all-out propaganda counterattack. Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko called a televised press conference to reply to Reagan. That in itself underscored the urgency felt by the Soviets: in 26 years in his job, Gromyko had given only a handful of news conferences in Moscow, and this was the first broadcast outside the U.S.S.R.

...MAJOR FORCES in the Politburo are not young men. Andropov is 68, Konstantin Chernenko 71, Andrei Kirilenko 76 and Andrei Gromyko 73. In the not-too-distant future, a younger generation that did not live through the horrors of the war will take over. Despite the constraints of the Soviet system, these leaders might well be interested in improving the lot of their people--if only out of necessity. Growing labor unrest and dissidence within the Soviet Union have till now been successfully held in check, but history suggests the country will not stagnate forever. As Goldman puts...
