...issue of diplomatic recognition did not come up in a brief, unscheduled meeting between Peres and Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze later in the week. Instead, Shevardnadze quizzed Peres about the fate of specific Soviet Jews who had emigrated to Israel from the Soviet diplomat's native republic of Georgia...
...sense that their division no longer represents the vanguard of broadcast journalism. "We don't have a Nightline, we don't have a morning news show that goes to Moscow [as NBC's Today did last year]," says a CBS correspondent.

In New Orleans, a dispute continued to simmer over the fate of Miroslav Medvid, the Ukrainian sailor from a Soviet grain freighter who jumped ship twice, only to be returned both times. After Ukrainian-American groups protested that Medvid had been pressured by the Soviets into retracting his request for asylum, Republican Senator Jesse Helms took the extraordinary step of issuing...
