This upswing in Cheever's respectability accelerated after his death in 1982. Two books about him have since appeared: a memoir by his daughter Susan, Home Before Dark (1984), and Scott Donaldson's John Cheever: A Biography, published earlier this year. More collections are on the way.

The Soviets appear eager to ease tensions, improve trade, talk arms control and relieve pressure on their disastrous domestic economy. Bush says he has learned the value of a hard-line, waiting approach from Reagan. He will be more eager than Reagan to exploit the new foreign policy trends in the Soviet Union, though he will be extremely cautious about destabilizing Eastern Europe and prompting a Soviet crackdown...
