There is no indication yet that Secretary of State George Shultz is willing to take up this cause, which undoubtedly would lead to a clash with Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger, a strong proponent of the zero option. The belief at the White House that Bush put the Soviets on the diplomatic defensive may be overly optimistic, but it reinforces Pentagon pressure on Reagan to hold fast and wait for concessions from Moscow. One White House defense strategist says that U.S. Negotiator Paul Nitze has been instructed to do "some very determined, energetic, inquisitive negotiating" at Geneva to seek...

Even a different government in Jerusalem would probably bring a change in tone rather than substance. The acrimony and strains of the Begin years have tended to mask a painful truth: the long-term interests and goals of the U.S. and Israel often diverge and sometimes clash directly. That does not mean that compromises cannot be explored or accords worked out. What it does mean is that the conflicting objectives make it incumbent upon both countries to be especially scrupulous about maintaining ties and to strive harder to understand each other. That has not been the case over the past...
