...nearly 100 additional hours of Khrushchev tapes with enough material to make a third book, excerpted in this issue and to be published, like the previous two, by Little, Brown, a part of Time Warner Inc. This time Schecter, now an author and a founding editor of a new joint U.S.-weekly newspaper, did the translating and editing, in collaboration with Vyacheslav Luchkov, a scholar and expert on Soviet psychology.

But it will be completed shortly, and a decision to wage war will probably follow. Most if not all of the serious diplomacy of recent weeks has concerned preparedness, not peace. And the latest from the mullahs in Tehran supports the view that the economic embargo, if it could ever squeeze Saddam sufficiently to cause his unilateral withdrawal from Kuwait, would take well over a year to do so -- a period too long to sustain...
