...many Americans, the real issue--achieving significant progress toward the ultimate goal of multilateral disarmament--may be rost in this flurry of rhetoric and throw-weight rosters. They will watch Ronald Reagan and Leonid Brezhnev shift the spotlight to the ever-contradictory statistics and the perceptions of false security they create.
