...Secretary Frank Carlucci observed that the Swiss city of Bern was an appropriate setting for the round of talks about to get under way because it was the "capital of the capital of peace." The observation was tinged with some irony, since Carlucci and his partner in discussion, General Dmitri Yazov, the Soviet Defense Minister, are responsible for the world's two most powerful military machines.
