Even then, Bush moved largely in response to Gorbachev, who had just set forth yet another compelling proposal to Secretary of State James Baker...

I decided that the opportunity for professional growth was better there than I thought it would be doing what I was doing so I took a deep breath and left. And I'm very glad I did.
