Marine Sergeant Clayton Lonetree, 25, was so highly regarded at his job as security guard at the U.S. embassy in Moscow that in November 1985 he was detached for special duty at the Reagan-Gorbachev summit in Geneva. Last week Lonetree sat in a brig at the Marine base at Quantico, Va., suspected by his superiors of helping the Soviet KGB filch classified U.S. documents from diplomatic offices in Moscow and Vienna...
Suddenly the specter of an all-out trade war between the U.S. and the twelve- member European Community loomed larger than ever. In Palm Springs, Calif., where President Reagan was vacationing, U.S. Trade Representative Clayton Yeutter announced last week that the Administration was prepared to slam the door by Jan. 30 on more than $400 million worth of West European imports, including Italian white wine, French cognac and British gin. The Europeans came right back with threatened new barriers against such U.S. products as corn-gluten feed, soy cakes, rice and almonds. Yeutter spoke darkly of possible "major disruptions...

Now Clayton and Love's widow are ready to retire, but they say that the Crystal Palace is profitable. Local ranchers and tourists enjoy being...
...last week the U.S. and the E.C. proclaimed a cease-fire just before the first shot. On a TWA flight from Washington that arrived at dawn in Paris, U.S. Trade Representative Clayton Yeutter struck a last-minute deal with top E.C. officials. While the Community did not revoke Spain's new tariffs, it promised to take away their sting. The E.C. pledged that Spain would not reduce its imports of agricultural goods this year. The Portuguese measures, in any case, were not expected to have an impact until 1987. Satisfied that American farmers will not suffer any immediate losses, Washington...
