...motorcades whipped by at 70 m.p.h., down empty center lanes marked off for official traffic. The more than 300 members of the Communist Party's Central Committee were on their way to the Kremlin for their annual winter session. All of them but one. There was no hint of the whereabouts of the Soviet Union's head of state, Yuri Andropov, 69, who had not been seen in public since Aug. 18. In his role as Party General Secretary, Andropov normally would run this very important policy meeting. Would he dramatically reappear, thus dispelling the rumors that...
...Marxist-led government of Nicaragua, did little more than sustain grim guerrilla wars. Just as the U.S. did after the 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the imposition of martial law in Poland in 1981, the Soviet Union volubly denounced the U.S. moves but did not so much as hint at military action in retaliation.

There was a strong hint of deja vu in the wintry air of Geneva last week as U.S. negotiators at the Strategic Arms Reduction Talks (START) filed into the headquarters of their Soviet opposite numbers, across the Avenue de la Paix from the Palais des Nations.

The Soviet Union, he concluded, was "unable to set a date...

For Ed Meese, to whose mind hunger's only a cheat, Some clam chowder popcorn's a holiday treat. Besides, just in case the stuff proves deleterious, We'll toss in some ice cream--the new Gelateria's. And, though her green birthplace his favorite is not, Here's a Cabbage Patch Doll for our friend Jimmy Watt...
...first hint of a new Soviet proposal came in mid-November 1982, when Senator Gary Hart visited Geneva and lunched with Nitze and Kvitsinsky together. Using Hart as a foil, Nitze elicited from Kvitsinsky confirmation of what Nitze had suspected would be the next Soviet ploy: an offer to reduce European SS-20s from 243 to about 150, approximately matching the 162 ballistic missiles in Britain's and France's independent nuclear arsenals...
