...upcoming Geneva summit, but the U.S. had been "dragging its feet from the very start" on arms control. Quipped Karpov in the kind of Western cliche that seems to spill effortlessly from publicity-conscious Soviet diplomats these days: "It takes two to tango." His American counterpart, Max Kampelman, said the U.S. was "hopeful" that the proposal would provide the basis for "serious negotiation."

The Soviets, who evidently returned to the bargaining table largely to discuss Star Wars, consider this a violation of the original agenda for the three-part negotiations.
