...only would a U.S. declaration of a No First Use policy, combined with a real change in our nuclear deployment, be a public relation coup, but it would also break the deadlock in the arms talks since, with a conventional defense, the numbers of warheads becomes less important. In this sense, No Firs Use is a much more profound move towards peace than a nuclear freeze which leaves policy matters largely untouched. No First Use allows the United States to move beyond a freeze, removing both the need for counterforce first strike missiles and the justifications for attempting to match...
...President was not expected to offer any new initiatives to break the deadlock that has existed since the Soviets walked out of arms-control talks in Geneva last year to protest the deployment of new NATO missiles in Europe.

The British, in turn, zeroed in on what they saw as Mitterrand's intransigence in refusing to address the long-term financial problem caused by heavy subsidies to the Community's 8 million farmers. West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl avoided the search for scapegoats...
McEvoy had to make some sensational stops in the extra session to preserve the deadlock. Brown couldn't score on a power play created by a Visone high-sticking call with :02 left in regulation...
