...Gorbachev is the architect of "new thinking" in international affairs, Shevardnadze is his master builder. Like the General Secretary, the amiable, white-haired diplomat has a smile that can melt ice. And like Gorbachev, Shevardnadze sometimes shows a glint of iron teeth. Thanks, in part, to Shevardnadze's diplomatic labors, Soviet tanks and troops have been withdrawn from Afghanistan and are being partially withdrawn from Eastern Europe.

And although they don't all have all 28 flavors of Howard Johnson's ice cream, an FAI spokesman admits, they all have at least 18. Which indicates that if we can't preserve all the riches of the past in this forgetful and conglomerate age, we can, with a certain determination and a certain effort, preserve at least some of them.
