Warns Georgi Arbatov, a Soviet expert on U.S. policy: "You cannot reconcile detente with attempts to make China some sort of military ally of NATO." A Western diplomat also cautioned: "I wonder if an economically and militarily powerful China by the year 2000 would be an unmitigated blessing for American interests. Would...

Everything was going smoothly during Grechko's extraterrestrial stroll until Salyut passed over the western Pacific Ocean-out of range of Soviet ground stations. Suddenly...
