Second only to SALT among Soviet aims is repeal of the 1974 Jackson-Vanik amendment, which withholds most-favored-nation status from the U.S.S.R. until Moscow permits free emigration.

Here he gives us over 60 pages with almost nothing about baseball but plenty about theh Steinbrenner-Martin-Jackson love triangle.
