...this point Talbott's reader might expect a reasonable discussion of the problems and frictions both sides experienced through the long and frustrating INF talks in Geneva. Instead, we are subjected to pages and pages of criticism directed solely at Washington's approach to the talks. Intra-Administration rivalry, attempts to solidify the support of the Europeans, the "public relations" push for domestic support of our position--Talbott describes it all in excruciating and damning (at least in his eyes) detail. His acknowledgement, that the Soviets never accepted the West's intention to deploy at least some missiles to counter...
...intra-Mafia dispute was settled in Masselli's favor in a Bonanno-Genovese "sitdown." But Frascone continued to object, and Masselli ordered him killed, according to last week's indictments. The admitted killer was Mike Orlando, a former grade school teacher who had switched to an exciting and dangerous double vocation: he was Masselli's top bodyguard and an FBI informer.

As the week passed, there was no further word on Farrash's fate...
Sensing an opportunity to exploit intra-alliance tensions, the Soviets sent a number of signals of their own that they might consider the walk-in-the-woods plan if the U.S. put it forward. Even Perle, who had been Nitze's most unrelenting and effective opponent in 1982, strongly suggested to a congressional subcommittee that he might now support walk in the woods if it were made as a final U.S. offer. Weinberger was upset. He had long since become convinced that the U.S. must not, under any circumstances, give up the Pershing...
