Unfortunately, an agreement in the INF talks before December, when NATO is scheduled to deploy American Pershing II and cruise missiles, seems very unlikely. Last week Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Georgi Kornienko and Deputy Chief of Staff Marshal Sergei Akhromeyev had a press conference in Moscow to put down reports emanating from West German Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher that the U.S.S.R. might become more flexible in its INF stance.

In past months the party has disagreed with its coalition partner on a variety of issues, from the government's strong support for NATO's plan to deploy intermediate-range missiles in Western Europe to French intervention in Chad.

That was the nub of the now famous walk-in-the-woods formula that chief INF Negotiator Paul Nitze worked out privately with his Soviet counterpart, Yuli Kvitsinsky, a year ago. Both men were overruled by their home offices on the grounds that they had given away too much...
