...just a beginning, a first step toward determining how substantive arms-control talks might proceed. All the hard parts come later. When the two sides get down to particulars, they might again find themselves in a deadlock, the Soviets as intransigent as ever on the issue of medium-range Euromissiles, the Americans as uncompromising as before on land-based missiles. Declares one Administration arms-control advocate: "What is important is the details, the specifics of approach from January on. What is the U.S. ready, willing and able to put on the table?" A moderate colleague is also pessimistic. "Reagan wants...
Nonetheless, Duarte intended to drive up the rutted highway to La Palma, accompanied at most by a small contingent of aides, in his cocoa brown Jeep Cherokee.

All of which means that if the Administration loses any of those four votes on the MX, production of the missile would end with the group of 21 now under...
