...Sidra I, II and III or long-term strategies such as the Reagan Doctrine and Star Wars --have evoked mixed reactions abroad. Denis Healey, the British Labor Party's most prominent spokesman on foreign policy, has continually protested global unilateralism in so many words. Last week Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze, sensing a new buzz word in the Esperanto of Uncle Sam bashing, denounced the U.S. for "neoglobalism." At the same time, public remonstrations from the chancelleries of Europe and elsewhere have often been modulated with whispered encouragement to Washington to keep up the good work. The point about global...
...taking up a Kremlin post as a senior adviser to Gorbachev, will be carrying a message that could get private discussions going again after months of what diplomats brand "megaphone diplomacy." Indeed, Dobrynin reportedly has been empowered to set a date for a meeting with Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze that Shultz has been trying to arrange for months.

The President refused to discuss the details of his new response, but said, "I would characterize our arms- control position as deep cuts, no first-strike advantage, defensive research . . . and no cheating." One of the seeds picked up from the Soviets was setting the limit on nuclear charges at 6,000. Yet the U.S. proposal applies the 6,000 figure only to warheads on strategic missiles (submarine ballistic missiles and land-based ICBMs...
...source of that impression was not hard to locate. Along with his energetic new Foreign Minister, Eduard Shevardnadze, Gorbachev was followed closely by aides who have been writing speeches for Kremlin leaders for nearly 20 years. Among them were scholarly, multilingual Andrei Alexandrov-Agentov, a foreign policy adviser since 1966, and rubicund Leonid Zamyatin, head of the Soviet Central Committee's international information department since 1978. Zamyatin in particular appeared to confirm that there was a conscious attempt to temper the General Secretary's ebullience. He soon quoted his boss to the effect that "there is no Gorbachev style. Therefore...
