Chernenko, who is believed to suffer from emphysema, looked wan and frail in both appearances; in one, he seemed to be breathing with difficulty. Though he had professed to be hopeful about the outlook for arms negotiations in a speech that was read in his name a few days earlier, the TV footage made...
