Meanwhile, Burt and others at the State Department were pushing their own new plan for START. It came to be called the "framework approach," and it would entail keeping launcher limits along the lines of both SALT II and the Soviet proposal in Geneva, but adding limits on warheads and cruise missiles. The U.S. would be giving up, once and for all, its attempt to focus exclusively on fast flyers, particularly MlRVed ICBMs. At the same time, the Soviets would have had to accept much more severe limits on their MlRVs than under their own proposal...

As a theatrical contrivance this works amusingly. But it is one thing to simplify, for dramatic convenience, the structure of historical lives and quite another to oversimplify their emotional tenor. In Talmage's hands, the brilliant Strachey becomes a fussy queen; the dangerously unstable Carrington, a ditsy...
