...American foreign policy. Americans still have to ask themselves the basic questions. Questions of national interest: Can the U.S. risk the domination of Central America by a Soviet client state?

In their first two encounters, Reagan found Gorbachev's eyes questioning but not hostile, his remarks at times sharp but not irrational. In his new book, Perestroika, Gorbachev comes out as a Reagan booster. The Reykjavik summit "marked a turning point in world history," writes Gorbachev. "This ((East-West)) dialogue has now broken free of the confusion of technicalities, of data comparisons and political arithmetic." That is right down Reagan's uncluttered...
