...NATO members avoided a serious open split, but obvious differences remained. The final communique declared that NATO would press forward with the deployment of the missiles in "selected countries." NATO Secretary-General Joseph Luns confirmed that the countries were Britain, West Germany and Italy; he added that "Belgium and The Netherlands may accept the missiles later." Both recalcitrant countries said that they might well accept the missiles on their territory if there were no progress in disarmament negotiations with the Soviet Union; Belgium said it would reconsider in six months, The Netherlands in two years...
...week's end, the British faced an embarrassing dilemma when the conference formally ended without any final settlement. At the last plenary session, Patriotic Front Co-Leaders Robert Mugabe and Joshua Nkomo flatly refused to sign a British-drafted plan that would require their guerrilla forces to assemble at 15 dispersed camps.

...last attempt at bluff-calling, Carrington ruled out further concessions and proceeded to initial the final conference documents with Muzorewa's representatives. Carrington's action cleared the way for a "second-class solution": a bilateral settlement with Salisbury that would bar the guerrillas from the elections.

Even if it was not what Stevens had anticipated, the book says...
...Storm Troopers. The two flee but are subsequently captured. The Nazi goons begin beating Rudy viciously and order Max to do the same. He begins in utter dismay, recognizes what he has been degraded to, and in an orgy of self-loathing deals his lover the final fatal blow. To amuse themselves further, the guards then order Max to undergo an appalling sexual test. He passes. The guards thought, as he tells Horst, " 'He's a bit bent.' They said, 'He can't' ... but I did." For his reward, Max is permitted to wear...
