...situation in START is different from that in the INF talks in two key respects. First, parity still exists at the level of strategic weapons, and proposals in that area must there fore be seen by both sides as equitable in their impact on existing and projected weapons systems; the "front loading" of Soviet concessions in START is harder to justify than in INF (not to mention harder to negotiate). Second, in START, it is the U.S. rather than the Soviet Union that has been hanging tough with an intransigent and unrealistic position...

During the two months before the Brussels meeting, he had flown to each of the nine capitals and met with Thatcher twice. He pledged last week to renew his shuttle diplomacy, since he hopes to strike a compromise be fore the next summit in June, when his term as chairman expires. "Europe of the Ten is not dead," he declared at the end of the Brussels meeting. "It has suffered a further blow, but the situation is not desperate. We'll be pressing on." It is the same determination...
