...Soviets. Yet even that provides only a framework for seeking better relations with the Soviets. "It is foolish and dangerous to believe that we can manage this relationship by deterrence alone," said Vance. "We will also need to provide positive incentives. We must work for implicit, if not explicit, agreements to bound our competition by restraints, by a kind of common law of competition ...
