...throw weight at the NSC meeting, Reagan told McFarlane afterward, "Cap has a point." So McFarlane drafted a secret presidential directive that made throw weight an unpublicized part of Phase 1. In Phase 2 of this plan, the Soviets would have to reduce from more than 5 million kg to the U.S. level of about 2 million kg, but they would also have had to come down to 2.5 million kg in Phase...

When shoppers there reached the white enamel butcher's counter, they found that the popular zwyczajna sausage had gone up from 40 to 190 zlotys (51? to $2.42 at the official exchange rate) per kg. A small canned ham had jumped from 200 to 600 zlotys ($2.55 to $7.75). A white-haired woman who had been hovering on the edge of the meat line turned away with only a loaf of brown bread in her wire basket. "I'm terrified," she confided...
