His American counterpart, Max Kampelman, said the U.S. was "hopeful" that the proposal would provide the basis for "serious negotiation."

Not only have the Soviets stolen (naturally) pages from American campaign manuals, they have even produced their version of John Kennedy--Gorbachev, who displays a good-looking, clothes-conscious wife and plenty of middle-age "vigah...
