President Reagan tells Andrei Gromyko [NATION, Oct. 8] that, from the days of Vladimir Lenin to the current leadership of Konstantin Chernenko, Moscow's policy has been to promote world revolution. Maybe so, but this philosophy did not concern Americans before World War II. As an engineering student during the Hoover Administration, I had Soviet students in my classes. I also knew American engineers who had helped design and build a steel plant in the Soviet Union. After World War II, the two countries became antagonists in a cold war that continues to this day. Perhaps it is time...
...private Kremlin conference room of Konstantin Chernenko has been firmly off limits to Western journalists since the Soviet President took command of the Communist Party in February. But last week the room's large double doors unexpectedly swung open. Responding to written questions submitted five days earlier by Washington Post Moscow Bureau Chief Dusko Doder, Soviet officials summoned the journalist to the Kremlin on a half-hour's notice. During a 20-min. interview, Chernenko, 73, looking relaxed and ruddy-cheeked, sounded more ready than in the past to accommodate the prospect of new dialogue with...

Immediately after his inauguration, he said, he would go to Moscow fully dressed as Bozo and wheedle Soviet Leader Konstantin Chernenko into a nuclear freeze. Or Tastee-Freeze. Or whatever...
Reagan, a bit tense initially, referred in his opening remarks to a statement he had written out in longhand. From the days of Vladimir Lenin to the current leadership of Konstantin Chernenko, he said, Moscow's policy has been to promote world revolution. In U.S. eyes the Soviet Union is still an expansionist state, and Americans naturally are worried. The President quickly followed, however, with his explicit recognition of Soviet status as a superpower and disavowal of any American desire to change its system. The U.S., said Reagan, does not seek military superiority over the Kremlin; it wants...
...mystery facing the specialists deepened with the brief, repeated appearances on Moscow television last week of a strikingly frail Soviet Leader Konstantin Chernenko. The General Secretary, who took office in February, had vanished from public view on July 13, ostensibly to enjoy a summer vacation. He had been seen only once after that, presenting medals to three cosmonauts in a ten-minute film clip on the Sept. 6 Moscow evening news...
