Unfortunately, an agreement in the INF talks before December, when NATO is scheduled to deploy American Pershing II and cruise missiles, seems very unlikely. Last week Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Georgi Kornienko and Deputy Chief of Staff Marshal Sergei Akhromeyev had a press conference in Moscow to put down reports emanating from West German Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher that the U.S.S.R. might become more flexible in its INF stance.

...trio-made up of Granberg, a retired New York state investigator; Salvatore Rignola, a New York City fire marshal; and Julian Farriel, a house painter-were buffeted by bruising ocean tides. Rignola and Farriel would later tell the authorities that Granberg, 6 ft. 4 in. and 275 lbs., offered to change places with Rignola, who was perched precariously in the middle. As Granberg stood up, his friends said, his foot slipped on the wet seat, and he vanished overboard...
