...Kremlin harbors the opposite suspicion: that R. and D. will turn out to be a smoke screen for an all-out program to deploy SDI. As Roald Sagdeyev, director of Moscow's Space Research Institute, told TIME, "We need some kind of insurance policy on SDI; otherwise, what is advertised innocently as a testing program could lead to rapid deployment of a full-scale system. Unrestrained SDI testing would confront our military planners with the requirement of more offensive systems, not less. It's that simple...
Honecker's visit repays a trip made to East Germany by then Chancellor Helmut Schmidt in 1981. The East German leader's plans for a reciprocal visit fell victim to a freeze in superpower relations in 1984, after West Germany had decided to deploy U.S. cruise and Pershing II missiles and the Soviets, in response, had walked out of arms negotiations in Geneva. Criticized in the Soviet press for planning to carry out his trip despite Bonn's move, Honecker dutifully canceled at the last minute. His arrival in West Germany now is one more sign of how U.S.-Soviet...
...engaged in a delicate diplomatic minuet. On the one hand, Moscow is pressuring the U.S. and its European allies to eliminate all medium-range missiles as part of a larger arms-control agreement. Last week, for example, Moscow demanded that U.S. warheads on NATO Pershing IA missiles deployed in West Germany be destroyed. The Soviets argue that any arms-control pact would be toothless if a strong U.S. friend like Israel continues to deploy such weapons...
...shorter-range missiles (300 to 600 miles) as well. Until last week Moscow had been willing to agree only to eliminate intermediate- and shorter- range missiles from Europe while insisting on retaining 100 intermediate- range SS-20 missiles in Asia. In return the U.S. would have been allowed to deploy 100 intermediate-range Pershing IIs in Alaska...
...finding some accommodation on Star Wars. The Soviets have inched away from their across-the-board opposition to Strategic Defense Initiative research by hinting that they might permit some testing, perhaps even in space. Kissinger argues that finding a middle ground is impossible because Washington's goal is to deploy SDI and Moscow's goal is to do away with the program; a long delay, he argues, would in effect kill it. But Schlesinger, who does not believe that a delay in deploying SDI would necessarily be fatal to the program, says the outline of a grand compromise is already...
