...veiled threat at his final press conference in Washington last week. If Israel did not halt Jewish settlements in the occupied territories, he warned, new thought would be given to "what we can do with issuing permits for exit." Israel and Washington balked, and three days later, Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze assured the U.S. that emigration would continue apace...

But Gorbachev last week would not let the subject drop. In a sharp exchange with congressional leaders Friday morning, he expressed particular irritation that the U.S. still denies most-favored-nation trade status to the U.S.S.R., though it has just renewed that status for China despite last year's massacre of pro-democracy demonstrators...
