Brezhnev's failing health was believed to be one reason for the sterile response to Reagan's first Kremlin missive. The exhaustive analysis of each phrase and word that the national-security experts made of Yuri Andropov's replies gave hope there was a personal heartbeat coming through.

When rescuers pulled him out, he had been submerged for at least 20 minutes and had no discernible heartbeat, pulse or breathing.
