...Shultz noted as he arrived in Helsinki, the Soviets had proclaimed such a unilateral moratorium before, in the late '50s and early '60s, and then had abruptly begun what he described as "the largest nuclear-testing program ever undertaken." Nonetheless, the Gorbachev proposal's simplicity and emotional appeal had distinct propaganda advantages, particularly in Western Europe. The Soviet offer also came at a time when the Kremlin has given intriguing, if nebulous, hints that it might be willing to propose a variety of new across-the-board reductions in the strategic-missile stockpiles of the superpowers...
