...Weatherman Gromyko, whose head pops out when storms impend, just as Jacob Malik sometimes emerges to indicate clearing skies, might thunder against the Japanese treaty but he could not prevent it. The State Department had drafted a tough set of procedural rules which forbid amendments, limit each delegation to one hour's formal comment, rule out debate on points of order.
