...Iceland had a glorious dawn, and has lain in twilight ever since," wrote British Historian James Bryce after an 1872 visit to the island. "It is hardly possible that she should again be called on to play a part in history." This week, however, Iceland's very remoteness has thrust it onto center stage. President Reagan reportedly chose Reykjavik over London for this meeting to minimize distractions. The driving force behind this superpower outing, according to both Soviet and U.S. officials, is "less is best."

...Bryce Harlow, the very wise aide who served Eisenhower, Nixon and Ford, developed a theory that the mettle of a President and his Administration is never really taken until there is a failure, whether from within the Government or thrust on them from the outside. How these people shed their jealousies and fears, how clearly they see ahead, how they come together and embrace the national interest instead of their own ends is the true measure of a President and his aides...
