...Soviets will soon resume the INF talks on Reagan's terms, namely by accepting deployment of some new U.S. missiles in Western Europe. Moscow scoffs at the idea of a merger for precisely the opposite reason. "One can only merge something that really exists," says First Deputy Foreign Minister Georgi Korniyenko...
...judging how their actions look to non-Soviet eyes. To them, Reagan's plans appear to envisage a restoration of the nuclear superiority the U.S. enjoyed during the 1950s and '60s.

...Born Georgi Melitonovich Balanchivadze in St. Petersburg, the son of a composer, young George got into ballet by accident. Accompanying his sister to a tryout at the Imperial School of Ballet, Balanchine found himself accepted after he walked across the floor in front of the judges, who were impressed by the nine-year-old's strength, posture and fierce, aquiline good looks. By his mid-teens, he was choreographing. After leaving Russia in 1924, Balanchine made his way to Paris and at 21 became balletmaster of Serge Diaghilev's famed Ballets Russes...
