...President take back any of his tough statements of a couple of years ago (an evil empire that reserves the right "to lie, to cheat"). "I think all those served a purpose. In the past we've dealt with them on a mirror-image basis--that, well, gee, they're just like us. And if they see that we're nice, why, they'll be nice too. I thought it was time that we (talked straight...
...setting is a town off the dirt road from Southwest Nowhere, but the emotional topography bears the mark of James M. Cain.

...Administration has been at odds with itself over compliance since its first days in office. In his initial press conference as President, on Jan. 29, 1981, Reagan said the Soviets "reserve unto themselves the right to commit any crime, to lie, to cheat." Among the newly appointed officials who took that statement very literally was David Sullivan, a former CIA analyst who had made a career of documenting alleged Soviet violations of SALT. He served briefly in the ACDA in the State Department building...
