The U.S., he said, thinks "not in terms of parity but in terms of superiority." But Gromyko also emphasized the importance of negotiations. U.S. officials interpret the tone of both speeches as yet another hint that the Soviets are keeping the door open in the talks on nuclear arms limitation. Last month Andropov had given that message to former U.S. Ambassador to Moscow Averell Harriman, and last week Soviet television allowed Deputy Secretary...
