Moscow refused to rise to the bait. Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze, following Reagan to the General Assembly rostrum by only two hours last Thursday, kept his government's focus almost exclusively on arms control. Repeating Soviet proposals for sweeping reductions in nuclear weapons that the U.S. regards as promising but deceptive, Shevardnadze issued what amounted to a dare to the U.S.: "Are you ready, as we are, to scrap hundreds of missiles and aircraft, thousands of nuclear charges?

Last April he investigated an Internet advertisement offering $500 or more just for receiving junk E-mail and uncovered what he called a bait-and-switch scheme operated by "a slick direct-mail baron" in Ohio. He wrote a story headlined JACKING IN FROM THE P.T. BARNUM PORT and dispatched it to the Net. He was promptly sued for libel. Whatever the truth of the story -- or the merit of the suit -- Meeks now faces...
