Glimmers of Hope. Though many Western observers expected that Khrushchev would use the Supreme Soviet session as a platform for tirades against U.S. nuclear tests, Moscow's announcement that it will follow the U.S. series with more weapons tests of its own left little grounds for righteous indignation. Indeed, Khrushchev and Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko spoke in relatively muted tones; in almost identical words, both allowed that U.S.-Soviet talks on Berlin yielded "glimmers of hope."
