Yeltsin did not immediately reply to Bush's proposal that both sides eliminate land-based missiles with multiple independently targeted warheads (MIRVs), which are far more plentiful in the Russian arsenal. American officials expect further talks between the two leaders to produce such a breakthrough, particularly if Bush shows some flexibility about submarine- borne MIRVs, where the U.S. has the edge.

He has visited countless Marian shrines during his globe trotting, and invokes the Madonna's aid in nearly every discourse and prayer that he delivers. He firmly believes that her personal intercession spared his life when he was shot at St. Peter's Square in Rome in 1981; the assassination...
